McKinney does not regulate seasonal holiday displays on residential property. Lights, inflatables, and decorations are permitted without permits provided they do not obstruct sight lines or create safety hazards.
No time limits on holiday displays, though HOAs in master-planned communities typically require removal within 30 days after the holiday. Displays cannot encroach on public sidewalks or rights-of-way. Extension cords across sidewalks must be covered or elevated to prevent tripping. Noise from animated displays subject to noise ordinance after 10 PM.
