Collin County has no ordinance restricting seasonal holiday displays on private property. HOAs commonly impose removal deadlines within 30 days after the holiday. Displays in right-of-way are not permitted.
Collin County Commissioners Court has adopted no ordinance regulating seasonal decorations, lighting hours, or removal timelines. The First Amendment and Texas constitutional free-speech protections (TX Const. Art. I §8) would bar content-based restrictions on religious holiday displays on private property in any case. Right-of-way displays violate TX Transportation Code §393.002 (state highway ROW) and county road ROW rules. HOA CC&Rs under TX Property Code Ch. 202 frequently require removal of holiday decorations within 30 days after the holiday (common in Plano, Frisco, and Prosper master-planned communities like Stonebriar, The Grove, and Windsong Ranch). TX Property Code §202.011 protects display of the US flag, state flag, and military service flags from HOA bans; §202.018 protects religious items on entry doors/frames ≤25 sq in. Light-pollution ordinances exist in no Collin County jurisdiction.
No county fine. HOA enforcement under CC&Rs via TX Property Code Ch. 209 (fines, then lien).
