Lewisville, TX Sign Regulations: Holiday Displays (2026)

Lewisville takes a permissive approach to residential holiday and seasonal displays. Homeowners may display holiday lights, lawn decorations, inflatables, nativity scenes, menorahs, and other seasonal items on their private property without obtaining a permit from the city. The city does not impose specific dates for when decorations must be installed or removed, though displays that remain up for extended periods well beyond the holiday season may be addressed as general property maintenance issues. Decorations must not obstruct public sidewalks, driveways, or sight lines at intersections. Electrical connections for outdoor lighting displays must comply with the National Electrical Code. Extension cords used outdoors must be rated for outdoor use, and circuits should not be overloaded. Ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection is recommended for all outdoor electrical connections. Decorations must not be attached to utility poles, traffic signs, or city infrastructure. Inflatable displays must be anchored to prevent them from blowing into streets or neighboring properties. While the city is permissive, individual HOAs may have their own rules about holiday display timing, size, and aesthetics. Texas law does not specifically preempt HOA authority over seasonal decorations the way it does for political signs and solar panels.
