West Jordan, UT Sign Regulations: Holiday Displays (2026)

Section 12-2-5(P) gives West Jordan businesses one additional banner, securely attached to the building facade, and one additional freestanding sign during listed holiday periods, without those extra signs counting against the standard temporary sign allowance in subsection 12-3-3O2. The freestanding holiday sign cannot exceed 24 square feet, must be erected on private property in front of the business, and has to be securely attached to the ground. A business housed in a building with a front facade of 150 square feet or more may add a second banner on top of the first.

The code ties the display window to each specific holiday rather than giving one blanket season. Independence Day runs June 30 through July 5, Pioneer Day runs July 20 through July 25, and the Christmas/Hanukkah and New Year's Day window runs December 15 through January 2, the longest stretch on the list. Presidents' Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day and Veterans Day each get a four-day pre-holiday window plus the holiday itself and one calendar day after; Thanksgiving gets one day before, the holiday, and four days after. Outside those specific windows, a business displaying a banner or freestanding sign beyond its normal temporary-sign allotment is not covered by the holiday exemption and must comply with the standard temporary sign rules in section 12-3-3, including whatever display-period cap applies to that sign type.
