Humble does not have a specific ordinance restricting holiday displays on private residential property. Homeowners may generally display seasonal decorations including lights, inflatables, and yard displays. Decorations must not obstruct traffic visibility at intersections or driveways. Electrical displays should be installed safely using outdoor-rated equipment and GFCI-protected outlets. Displays must not create fire hazards or violate fire code setbacks. Decorations should not encroach on public rights-of-way or neighboring properties without permission. HOA communities may have architectural guidelines regarding display timing, types, and removal deadlines. The city may address complaints about displays that create safety hazards or nuisance conditions. Contact Code Enforcement at (281) 446-4331 for specific concerns.
Holiday displays that create traffic safety hazards may be ordered removed. Electrical installations that violate code may trigger fire marshal action. Displays that constitute a nuisance through excessive noise or light may be addressed through the general nuisance ordinance. HOA violations are handled through the association's enforcement process.
