Holiday displays and seasonal signage in Richmond are regulated as temporary signs under the Unified Development Code, with limits on placement, illumination, and duration.
Richmond's Unified Development Code Article 4.7 governs temporary and seasonal displays, including holiday signage on residential and commercial properties. Displays must be located on private property with the owner's consent, may not obstruct visibility at intersections or driveways, must not encroach into the public right-of-way, and any illumination cannot create glare onto neighboring properties or roadways. Inflatable, animated, or large commercial holiday displays in business districts may require additional review by the Building Department.
Displays that obstruct sight triangles, encroach into the right-of-way, or produce excessive glare may be cited under code-compliance and ordered to be relocated or removed.
