Can Your Association Pull The Plug On Your Holiday Decorations?


You may love your 15-foot inflatable Santa but unfortunately, that doesn't mean you have a constitutional right to put them in your front yard when you live in a condominium, co-op or any other home ruled by a community association.

The rules your homeowners association makes about exterior décor apply during the holidays, too.

To see what your association allows, check the rules and bylaws you got when you purchased your home, or ask neighbors what was allowed last year.

If your community’s rules forbid holiday decorations or signs, but you want to decorate, you can check to see if state law (which overrides condo rules) allows you to display religious décor outside your home.

I can be of assistance.  Give me a call.
