San Angelo sets no time limits or permit requirements on residential holiday decorations. The sign code expressly exempts holiday and celebration decorations not used for advertising, so long as they do not obstruct traffic sight lines.
San Angelo's sign code exempts holiday decorations from permits and sign-area limits. Section 12.04.004(c)(10) lists "decorations related to a holiday or celebration that are not used for advertising purposes" among signs allowed in any zoning district without a permit and not counted against a property's sign allowance. Residential displays face no seasonal put-up or take-down deadline. The general rules still apply: Section 12.04.010 bars anything that obstructs a driver's or pedestrian's view at intersections, and illuminated displays must not create a hazard or shine objectionably onto neighboring property. Decorations that advertise a business become signs subject to the full ordinance, and HOA rules may add their own limits.
Holiday decorations used to advertise a business lose the exemption and must meet the sign code. Displays that block intersection sight lines or create a lighting hazard must be corrected, enforced by city code enforcement.
