Fayetteville has no ordinance restricting holiday decorations on private property, so no permit, no seasonal window, and no size cap apply. Displays only have to avoid blocking sidewalks or traffic sight lines; any sign element follows the non-commercial sign rules.
Holiday decorations are essentially unregulated in Fayetteville. The city has no holiday-display ordinance, no permit requirement, and no rule dictating how early decorations go up or when they must come down on private property. Practical limits come from general codes: a display cannot obstruct a public sidewalk or block sight lines at an intersection, which would be a traffic hazard under Sec. 174.08(F) for any sign; noise-making decorations fall under the noise ordinance; and inflatables should be secured against wind. If a decoration includes a sign or message, it counts toward the one non-commercial sign allowed under Sec. 174.03(H). HOA covenants may impose stricter limits than the city does.
There are no holiday-specific fines. A display that blocks a sidewalk or creates a traffic sight-line hazard can draw a correction notice, and excessive noise falls under the general noise ordinance.
