No Georgia statute and no Coweta County ordinance regulate holiday lights, inflatables, or yard displays on private property. A homeowner decorates without a county permit; in subdivisions, HOA covenants are the main limit.
Georgia has no state law on holiday displays, and Coweta County does not permit or police residential Christmas lights, seasonal inflatables, or yard decorations beyond general concerns like blocking a sidewalk or creating a traffic hazard. Outside a subdivision, a homeowner decorates freely with no county permit. In one of Coweta's many deed-restricted communities around Newnan, Senoia, and Sharpsburg, the homeowners' association's covenants set the real limits — how long lights may stay up, brightness, and whether large inflatables are allowed — because Georgia's Property Owners' Association Act carries no protection for holiday or religious displays. Newnan and Senoia address only safety issues like glare through general ordinances.
Outside an HOA there is no penalty; the county does not cite holiday displays except where one blocks a right-of-way or creates a hazard. Within an HOA, out-of-season or oversized displays draw the covenant fines the association sets.
