Guidelines for Taking Down Holiday Decorations

Holiday decorations bring a cheerful spirit and create a welcoming ambiance during the festive season! Holiday decorations can vary widely depending on the holiday and personal preferences  and to preserve the community's aesthetic, HOAs impose certain restrictions and guidelines.

Guidelines for holiday decorations

Common decorations include string lights, wreaths, garlands, and holiday figurines. Excessively large, noisy, or inappropriate decorations are restricted. Decorations should not obstruct sidewalks, roads, or neighbor views. Ensure lights do not shine excessively into neighboring properties. All decorations must be in good repair; damaged or faded items should be removed. Electrical decorations must comply with local safety standards. Any permanent installations related to holiday decor must receive prior approval from the HOA.

Removal of decorations

To maintain the aesthetic of the community, all holiday decorations must be removed within two weeks of the holiday. Residents are encouraged to remove any decorations that are damaged or faded, regardless of the timeline. HOAs may conduct regular inspections to ensure compliance with removal guidelines. Residents may receive reminders about the removal deadline if decorations remain after the specified date. Failure to remove decorations on time may result in fines or requests for immediate removal. Residents should consult their specific HOA’s governing documents for more detailed information on rules and regulations regarding holiday decorations. Residents should also comply with any applicable local ordinances regarding outdoor decorations.

Celebrate the holidays while fostering a harmonious and visually pleasing community!
