Apopka permits temporary holiday decorations on residential property. No permit required for typical residential displays. Displays that create traffic hazards, excessive light trespass, or amplified noise may trigger nuisance enforcement.
Residential holiday decorations are not regulated as signage in Apopka. Inflatable decorations, string lights, yard displays, and seasonal figures are permitted without permit on private residential property. Typical conventions allow displays from early November through mid January for winter holidays, shorter periods for other occasions. Displays that create traffic hazards from crowd viewing, project bright light onto neighbor bedrooms, or produce amplified music audible beyond property lines may trigger enforcement under noise or nuisance provisions. Commercial holiday displays on businesses follow standard sign code. HOAs frequently impose timing and size rules.
Traffic or safety hazard: law enforcement response. Light trespass or amplified noise: Chapter 18 nuisance citation. HOA violations: enforced civilly by association.
