Per the PCVA Community Guidelines - all exterior bulbs must be white in color.

2.13 LIGHTING
Exterior light fixtures attached to the home must be enclosed in fixtures and match the decor of the home. No
bare light bulbs allowed. All bulbs (including for those items listed below) must be white in color (LEDs are
acceptable).

​Decorative string lighting (e.g., bistro lighting, rope lighting, etc.) that is made for enhancing the home’s
appearance must be approved by the MC via a DRR. String lighting is prohibited along the entire house or on
eaves, fencing, walls, or railings. Lighting must be fully contained within a porch, patio, courtyard, or deck
area, and may not extend into the yard or beyond the confines of the porch, patio, courtyard or deck area. It
must be limited to small outdoor living areas. Lighting must be turned off when not in use (e.g., when not
entertaining) to avoid light pollution for the neighbors. See Section 4.16 for additional information.

Path lighting is allowed with low-voltage or solar options. These must be spaced evenly along paths or
driveways to give a consistent look.

Colorado Springs requires property owners to clear their walkways so that EVERYONE has safe access throughout the City!  Senior citizens, people with disabilities, parents with strollers, and mail carriers -just to name a few- struggle to negotiate hazardous walkways.  We need to do our part to make our community safe and accessible for all.

Timing: Once snow has stopped falling, residents have twenty-four (24) hours to remove snow and ice from public sidewalks adjacent to their property.  See the City announcement: coloradosprings.gov/neighborhood-services/page/snow-shoveling

Report A Problem: We encourage residents to work together to keep sidewalks clear for safe passage and to kindly remind neighbors with unshoveled sidewalks of the City's requirement.  To report a problem, please contact 385-5977 to provide the address of an unshoveled sidewalk.

Seasonal decorative lighting over the winter holidays may be installed on or after November 1, however, that lighting may only be lit during the period from November 15th to January 15th.

​Lighting shall be removed no later than January 31st. 

​Seasonal decorations for calendar holidays outside of the November 15th to January 15th timeframe shall be installed no more than 30 days prior to and removed within seven days after the calendar holiday. Wreath and flag decorations for specific seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) shall be removed the last day of that season according to the calendar.
