Aurora, Ill. –\u00a0 If cold temperatures and heavy snows have kept some west suburban residents from taking down Christmas lights, they don’t have to worry.<\/p>\n

The city of Aurora’s giving them another couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

Officials announced Friday that the deadline to take down holiday decorations has been extended to March 15 due to the cold weather and snow of the last two months.<\/p>\n

The extension gives property owners another 18 days past the usual Feb. 25 deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under Aurora’s seasonal decoration ordinance, outdoor holiday decorations cannot go up 60 days before the holiday and must be taken down 60 days after.<\/p>\n

The fine for violating the ordinance is $50, although city property inspectors will first give a courtesy notice, allotting 14 days to take down the decorations.<\/p>\n

According to city spokesman Dan Ferrelli, the vast majority of decorations are taken down without a fine.<\/p>\n
