Harris County has no ordinance regulating holiday displays in unincorporated areas. Residents may display holiday decorations freely on private property. Subdivision deed restrictions and HOA rules may regulate display size, lighting, and timing.
Unincorporated Harris County has no holiday display ordinance. Residents can put up seasonal decorations without county permits or restrictions. The First Amendment and Texas law broadly protect holiday displays on private property. HOAs and subdivision deed restrictions commonly regulate the timing of holiday displays (when they must be put up and taken down), exterior lighting brightness, inflatable decorations, and roof-mounted displays. Electrical displays must comply with general safety standards but no county permit is required.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Harris County code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
