Provo, UT Sign Regulations: Holiday Displays (2026)

040 lists exemptions from the outdoor lighting chapter's shielding, cut-off, downward-direction, and iso-lux plan requirements. The first exemption covers holiday lighting during the months of November, December, and January, with the single qualifier that such lighting shall not create dangerous glare on adjacent streets or properties. This sits alongside four other exemptions in the same section: temporary lighting for circuses, fairs, carnivals, and civic uses for up to 30 days unless the Development Services Department approves longer; lighting associated with agricultural operations; temporary construction or emergency lighting that must be discontinued immediately once the work or emergency ends; and roadway and airport lighting.

100 impose on parking lots, sales displays, sports facilities, security lighting, and building facades, so long as the display runs within the November-through-January window and doesn't blind traffic or neighbors.
