Some Flags Have Their Rules

Before you get too excited about your new, flashy house flag, there are some rules you should follow. For example, suppose your home is located in a residential zone (versus an industrial zone). In that case, a local ordinance may require that your house flag is no larger than four square feet in size.

When displayed, your decor flag should only be attached horizontally on a pole or staff; they may not be hung vertically. Also, when flying more than one flag (and most families do), all flags must be of equal size and displayed at equal heights—and by law cannot fly higher than your country’s national flag.
