Camarillo, CA Holiday Decorations: Inflatable Display Rules (2026)

There is no Camarillo Municipal Code section that specifically addresses inflatable holiday displays (giant snowmen, pumpkins, illuminated yard inflatables). Setup is governed by general standards: (1) electrical safety — exterior outlets must be GFCI-protected under CMC 16.04, extension cords must be outdoor-rated, and continuous-duty blower motors must not overload household circuits; (2) noise — blower motors typically run at 40-50 dBA at 3 feet and are well within CMC 10.34 limits if positioned away from the property line, but a unit running continuously near a bedroom window can trigger a nuisance complaint, especially after 9 p.m. when the residential limit drops to 45 dBA Leq; (3) sight-triangle and setback — large displays may not block driver visibility at intersections (CMC Title 12) or encroach into easements; (4) HOA rules — Camarillo's many planned communities (Mission Oaks, Spanish Hills, Las Posas Estates and others) commonly restrict display dates, sizes, and styles through CC&Rs. The City does not enforce HOA rules.
