HOA Reverses Order, Lets 30-Foot Santa Stay in Colorado Neighborhood

An HOA apology followed days of community pressure after the removal notice went viral.

Overview

  • The Severance Shores HOA’s upper management told the Flores family the inflatable can remain through Christmas and called the removal order a mistake.
  • The roughly 28–30 foot Santa was installed on Dec. 1 on the family’s corner lot in Severance, Colorado.
  • Fromm and Company, the property manager, sent a Dec. 4 letter calling the display excessive in height and threatened fines without citing a specific limit.
  • Neighbors organized on social media, contacted management, offered to cover fines, and even added their own inflatables, including one by neighbor Cody Bowden.
  • Residents credited the decoration with lifting community spirits, including delighting an autistic, nonverbal child, while Denver7 reported the property manager did not respond to a request for comment.
