  • Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza decorations may be installed beginning the day after Thanksgiving and must be removed no later than the following January 31.
  • Decorations for other holidays, such as Halloween and Easter, may be installed two weeks prior to the holiday. They must be removed no later than one week following the holiday.
  • Homeowners not removing decorations within the designated period will receive a notice of violation and will be fined.
  • Any homeowner in disagreement with this policy and who has received a fine may request, in writing, a Board hearing.
