Residential holiday decorations and displays are permitted without a permit in Ocoee. Temporary seasonal displays (Christmas lights, inflatables, Halloween decor) are not regulated as signs under the Land Development Code.
Displays must comply with general nuisance rules: no obstruction of sidewalks or right-of-way, no excessive light spillover to neighboring bedrooms (typically curfewed after 11 PM), and must not create traffic hazards. Amplified holiday music and light shows attracting crowds may trigger noise and traffic complaints. Displays should be removed within 30 days after the holiday.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
