Oxnard allows seasonal holiday displays on residential properties without permits. Displays must not create safety hazards, block sidewalks, or violate the city's outdoor lighting standards. Temporary holiday decorations are expected to be removed within a reasonable time after the holiday.
Seasonal holiday displays including lights, inflatables, nativity scenes, and yard decorations are permitted on residential properties in Oxnard without a city permit. Displays must not obstruct public sidewalks, driveways, or sight triangles at intersections. Electrical connections must be safe with outdoor-rated equipment and proper grounding. Rooftop decorations should not damage roofing materials. Extended display of holiday decorations beyond the holiday season (typically 30 days after) may be considered a nuisance if neighbors complain. Large displays drawing significant traffic may need to coordinate with the city for temporary traffic management. HOAs may have specific rules about holiday display timing and types.
Holiday displays creating safety hazards may be cited by code enforcement. Extended displays beyond reasonable holiday periods may receive nuisance complaints and warnings.
