Verified from official government sources

Non-aerial consumer fireworks (sparklers, fountains, ground spinners) are allowed without a permit. Firecrackers require a $25 permit (up to 5,000 per permit) from the Kauai Fire Department Prevention Bureau and may only be ignited on private property between 9 p.m. December 31 and 1 a.m. January 1. The 2025 Act 243 (HB 1483) significantly elevated penalties for illegal aerials and repeat offenders.
