Holiday decorations permitted on private property. No size limits for residential displays. Lights and inflatables allowed seasonally. HOAs may impose restrictions.
Orange County municipalities generally exempt temporary holiday displays from sign regulations. Lighting must not create traffic hazard (NY VTL 1115 glare rule) or excessive spillover onto neighbors. Displays in right-of-way prohibited. Commercial properties may require permits for large displays. HOA/condo rules may restrict duration (e.g., Nov 1 to Jan 15).
