Holiday decorations broadly permitted in Allegheny County with minimal regulation. Municipal codes generally exempt temporary seasonal displays from sign ordinances. Reasonable time limits apply, typically 60 days before and 30 days after the holiday.
No county regulation of holiday lights or decorations on private residential property. Municipal codes typically treat holiday displays as exempt temporary decorations. Restrictions that do apply: no obstruction of sidewalks or sightlines, no excessive light trespass onto neighboring properties (enforced under nuisance ordinance), commercial districts may have dimming requirements. HOAs in planned communities often impose stricter rules than municipalities.
Rare municipal enforcement. Complaints typically handled as nuisance: 25 to 100 dollars if light trespass or obstruction found.
