Huntsville has no specific ordinance limiting residential holiday displays, lights, or inflatables. Displays must comply with general property maintenance, noise, and electrical safety codes.
Residential holiday decorations including Christmas lights, inflatables, yard displays, and illuminated decor are generally unregulated in Huntsville. Displays should not create traffic hazards, emit amplified sound at night (subject to noise ordinance 10 PM to 7 AM), or encroach on neighbor property or public right-of-way. Extension cords must not cross public sidewalks or streets. Displays must comply with electrical code requirements for outdoor use. HOAs may impose specific rules on display timing (e.g., November 15 to January 15) in planned subdivisions. No city permit is required for residential displays.
