So, basically it says you can put out a set of lawn ornament for every season... I think there are four seasons, and between them they make up the whole year...

Seriously, everyone is acting like this is all clear cut legal agreement, and the language in them would be laughed out of any court. I am NOT saying I disagree with them (I mentioned earlier I am waiting to paint my driveway so that I am in fact in compliance.) I am just saying, things are not all black and white like it is being made out here.
Interesting. What district are you in? Ours exactly (not basically) in district 6 says 30 DAYS which isn't quite forever based on "4 seasons.":

■ 2.15b Lawn ornaments are prohibited, except for seasons displays not exceeding a thirty (30) day duration.

Not quite sure what is a "seasons display". Strange terminology. My guess is (and it is admittedly poorly written and unclear) their intent was for major holidays but that wouldn't stand up in court. What is a major holiday for one may not be for another.
