Neither Arizona nor Mohave County regulates holiday decorations. No permit is needed for lights, inflatables, or yard displays on your own property. The only real limits come from traffic-safety and nuisance rules, or from a homeowners' association's covenants.
Holiday displays sit almost entirely outside government regulation in Mohave County. Arizona has no statute on seasonal decorations, and the county's sign ordinance does not reach lights, inflatables, or yard displays on private property, so no permit is required. The practical limits are neutral ones: a display may not block a sidewalk, a driveway, or the sight lines at an intersection, electrical work must use outdoor-rated equipment, and a noise-making decoration is still subject to the noise ordinance. Inflatables should be anchored against the wind off the Colorado River. The usual source of a hard rule is a homeowners' association or a deed restriction in a subdivision around Lake Havasu City or Fort Mohave, not the county.
There is no county penalty for a holiday display. The county acts only through a neutral rule — an obstruction of the sidewalk or road, an electrical hazard, or excessive noise — while a homeowners' association enforces its own covenants.
