Apopka follows Florida §791.08 which legalizes consumer fireworks on July 4, December 31, and January 1. All other dates require sparklers only. Discharge prohibited on public property and within 300 feet of hospitals.
FL §791.08 preempts local bans on the three designated holidays, and Apopka cannot prohibit consumer fireworks on those dates. Outside holidays, only approved sparklers and novelties listed by the State Fire Marshal are legal. Apopka Fire Department and Apopka Police respond to illegal discharge complaints, especially in dry conditions. Fireworks banned at Lake Apopka shoreline parks and all City of Apopka parks.
Illegal discharge outside holidays: citation $250-$1,000. Causing fire or injury: criminal charges under FL §806.
