Temporary holiday displays (Christmas lights, Halloween decorations, etc.) are exempt from standard sign rules. Seasonal displays must be taken down within a reasonable period—typically 30–45 days after the holiday.
Clovis generally exempts holiday decorations from sign permit requirements when displayed for a reasonable seasonal period. HOAs often impose stricter takedown deadlines. Decorations must not create safety hazards (blocking driver sight lines, overloaded circuits) or excessive light/noise disturbing neighbors (CA nuisance law still applies). Inflatables and animated displays may draw noise complaints if they have motors/music.
