Lawn Ornament Rules

The City of Royal Oak's sign ordinance bans inflatable signs and tethered balloons citywide, but Section 607-3 carves out inflatable seasonal display items sold at retail and intended primarily for home display, so holiday lawn inflatables are not treated as signs at all. String lights and architectural lighting used for seasonal decorative displays are exempted the same way.
