Williamson County, TX Sign Regulations: Holiday Displays (2026)

There is no county rule on Christmas lights, seasonal inflatables, or other holiday displays outside city limits; the county does not legislate residential decorations. In a deed-restricted subdivision, the property owners' association's covenants set the limits: how long lights may stay up, brightness, and whether large inflatables are allowed. State law adds one firm guarantee: under §202.018, an HOA may not prohibit a property owner or resident from displaying religious items motivated by sincere religious belief on their property or dwelling, so a menorah, nativity, or similar display cannot be banned outright. Purely decorative or secular displays remain subject to whatever the HOA covenants say.
