Holiday and seasonal decorative displays are permitted on private residential property without a permit, subject to safe installation and light trespass courtesy.
West Valley City does not regulate private holiday decorations on residential property beyond general nuisance, electrical safety, and sign code provisions. Lights and displays are allowed year-round but should be seasonal and properly installed to avoid electrical hazards. Displays must not create light trespass onto neighboring properties, block sight triangles at driveways or intersections, or obstruct sidewalks. Inflatables and large displays should not encroach on the right-of-way.
