Seasonal holiday lights and displays permitted on private property with no permit required. Inflatables and roof displays must not create traffic hazards or violate fire or electrical codes.
Sacramento County does not require permits for residential holiday decorations, inflatables, or lighting displays. Displays must not obstruct sidewalks or create a visual distraction for drivers (flashing lights facing the street may trigger a nuisance complaint). Exterior electrical installations should use outdoor-rated cords and GFCI outlets per the California Electrical Code. Large-scale commercial-style displays that draw significant visitor traffic could be subject to zoning and nuisance review if they generate noise, parking, or lighting complaints from neighbors.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
