Showing ordinances that apply to Lake Harbor, FL
Lake Harbor is an unincorporated community (population 49) in Palm Beach County, Florida. Because Lake Harbor is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Palm Beach County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The holiday displays rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Holiday lights and decorations are permitted in residential areas without permit. PBC has no time restrictions on display duration but excessive light spillover or traffic-causing displays may trigger nuisance complaints.
Palm Beach County does not regulate holiday displays on private residential property. No permit is required. Decorative seasonal lighting is exempt from PBC Sign Code (ULDC Article 8). However, lights must comply with sea turtle lighting ordinances (PBC Code §17-247) in coastal areas during turtle nesting season (March 1-October 31), where lights visible from the beach must be shielded, low-wattage, or amber/red wavelength. Excessive displays causing traffic hazards may be cited as public nuisance.
