Williamson County has no ordinance regulating holiday lights, inflatables, or yard displays in unincorporated areas — those fall to HOA deed restrictions. Property Code §202.018 blocks an HOA from banning religious-motivated displays on an owner's property or dwelling.
There is no county rule on Christmas lights, seasonal inflatables, or other holiday displays outside city limits; the county does not legislate residential decorations. In a deed-restricted subdivision, the property owners' association's covenants set the limits — how long lights may stay up, brightness, and whether large inflatables are allowed. State law adds one firm guarantee: under §202.018, an HOA may not prohibit a property owner or resident from displaying religious items motivated by sincere religious belief on their property or dwelling, so a menorah, nativity, or similar display cannot be banned outright. Purely decorative or secular displays remain subject to whatever the HOA covenants say.
Outside an HOA there is no penalty — the county does not cite holiday displays. Within an HOA, covenant violations for out-of-season or oversized displays carry the fines set in the association's dedicatory instrument.
