Fillmore allows seasonal holiday displays and decorations on residential property with minimal restrictions. Displays should not create traffic hazards, block sidewalks, or generate excessive noise or light. The city's small-town character embraces holiday celebrations.
Fillmore permits holiday decorations on residential properties as temporary displays. Decorations may include lights, inflatable displays, nativity scenes, and seasonal ornaments. Displays should be installed within a reasonable timeframe before the holiday and removed within 30 days after. Electrical connections for lights must be safe and not create tripping hazards on sidewalks. Light displays should be reasonable in intensity and not create a nuisance for neighbors through excessive brightness or flashing patterns during sleeping hours. Displays cannot obstruct vehicle sight lines at intersections. Roof-mounted decorations must be safely secured. The city does not regulate the content or theme of holiday displays on private property, consistent with First Amendment protections.
Holiday displays that create traffic hazards, block pedestrian passage, or cause nuisance conditions through excessive light or noise may be subject to code enforcement. Displays left up long after the holiday season may be cited as property maintenance issues.
