Eugene has no specific ordinance regulating inflatable holiday displays on private residential property. Inflatables must remain within the property line and not encroach on sidewalks or public ways. Historic Conservation Districts under Eugene Code Chapter 9.8000 generally do not review temporary seasonal items. HOAs and condo associations may restrict inflatables through CC&Rs.
Inflatable holiday displays (yard inflatables, lawn dragons, holiday characters) are not specifically regulated by Eugene City Code. Displays must remain within the property line and may not encroach on the public sidewalk or right-of-way under Eugene Code Chapter 7 (Public Improvements) sidewalk and street obstruction provisions. Inflatables that block sight lines at intersections, obstruct fire hydrants, or interfere with utility access may be ordered removed by Eugene Public Works. Historic Landmark properties and Conservation Districts regulated under Eugene Code Chapter 9.8000 focus on permanent property modifications and generally do not require review for temporary seasonal inflatables. HOAs and condo associations frequently restrict yard inflatables through CC&Rs. Wind-related liability for damage caused by airborne inflatables remains the property owner's responsibility. Power cords must use outdoor-rated GFCI-protected extension equipment under the Oregon Electrical Specialty Code. Apartment lease terms may prohibit balcony inflatables.
Inflatables blocking sidewalks or public ways may be removed by Eugene Public Works with citations to the property owner. Damage caused by wind-blown inflatables creates civil liability. HOA violations follow association enforcement under CC&Rs. There are no specific Eugene City Code fines for inflatables themselves on private property.
