Marana does not restrict seasonal holiday displays on residential property. The Land Development Code sign standards in Article 22-10 exempt temporary holiday decorations from permit and size requirements. Arizona state law protects homeowner expression including holiday displays.
The Marana Land Development Code Article 22-10 exempts temporary holiday and seasonal decorations from the sign permit and regulation framework. Residents may display holiday lights, yard decorations, inflatables, and other seasonal items without a town permit and without size restrictions. There is no town-imposed time limit for installing or removing holiday decorations, though common practice and HOA guidelines typically allow displays from 30 days before through 15 days after the applicable holiday. Arizona law ARS 33-1808 limits HOA authority over certain homeowner activities, and while it does not specifically address holiday displays, courts have generally upheld reasonable display periods as protected expression. Marana dark-sky-compliant lighting ordinances still apply, so holiday light displays should be directed downward and shielded to minimize light trespass to neighboring properties consistent with the outdoor lighting code. Inflatable decorations and displays must not obstruct public sidewalks, traffic visibility, or fire hydrant access.
No town penalties for holiday displays on private property. Light trespass complaints: may be addressed under the outdoor lighting code. HOA violations: governed by individual community CC&Rs. Obstruction of public infrastructure: code enforcement action.
