Naperville does not have specific ordinances restricting holiday or seasonal decorations on private residential property. Displays are generally permitted on private property as long as they comply with general property maintenance standards and do not create safety hazards. Large electrical displays must meet NEC electrical safety requirements. Decorations should not obstruct sidewalks, public rights-of-way, or create visibility hazards at intersections. Holiday lights and inflatable decorations are common in residential areas. Displays in the public right-of-way may be subject to the general signage prohibition under Title 6, Chapter 16. The city's Christmas tree collection program accepts live trees during specific January collection weeks. Displays should be removed within a reasonable time after the holiday season.
Displays obstructing sidewalks: code enforcement notice. Electrical hazards: safety violation. Displays in the right-of-way: removal per sign ordinance.
