Springfield, MO Sign Regulations: Holiday Displays (2026)

Under LDC § 36-454(5)(b)5, no one may erect, maintain, or display an inflatable-display object, with or without sign copy, outdoors for commercial purposes at the same Springfield, Missouri site for more than 7 days in any three-month period. That covers seasonal and holiday-themed inflatables put up by businesses the same as any other inflatable attention-getter, and a temporary sign permit is required regardless of the season. The inflatable must be located on grade and properly anchored. The rule sits inside the sign code's business-area temporary-sign provisions, so a homeowner's personal holiday inflatable on a residential lawn, not erected for commercial purposes, falls outside this particular section.
