Holiday decorations on private property in unincorporated LA County are generally permitted. Displays must not create safety hazards or obstruct visibility. No specific duration limits. Electrical displays must meet safety codes. Community Standards Districts may have additional standards.
Holiday decorations on private property in unincorporated LA County are generally unrestricted under First Amendment protections. There is no county ordinance limiting when decorations can go up or come down. Light displays must comply with ROLD dark sky rules in rural areas. Electrical connections for outdoor displays should comply with building code and not create fire hazards. Inflatable decorations and larger installations may be subject to wind load requirements in hillside areas. HOAs may have additional restrictions on display timing and aesthetics that are separately enforceable.
No county penalties for holiday displays themselves. However, displays creating electrical hazards may be cited under building/fire code. Light displays in ROLD areas violating dark sky rules face $100-$500 fines per fixture. Displays obstructing sidewalks or rights-of-way may be cited. HOA violations are enforced through the HOA process, not county code enforcement.
