Holiday displays largely unregulated on private property. Restrictions apply if they create traffic hazards (excessive lighting), block sight triangles, or violate HOA rules. Sea turtle lighting rules apply on beaches May 1-Oct 31.
Jacksonville does not specifically regulate holiday decorations on private property. General sign code, noise ordinance, and safety standards apply. Coastal properties (Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach) must comply with FWC sea turtle lighting ordinances during nesting season (May 1-Oct 31) — includes outdoor holiday lighting visible from beach.
Sight triangle obstruction: code enforcement $100+. Turtle lighting violation: $250+ and FWC citation.
