Full Breakdown
Beaverton treats fireworks sales as a seasonal land use under Development Code section 40.80, grouping it with holiday vegetation, circus, and carnival sales as a Temporary Non-Mobile Sales application. The Director reviews the Type 1 application under section 40.80.15, and standard approval conditions require the vendor to hold a City Business License and any fireworks license required by the state or Washington County. The same site may host a fireworks stand no more than twice in the same calendar year. This governs retail sales, not personal discharge, which these instruments do not separately address. Beaverton's old fireworks display section, BC 5.08.230, was repealed in 1996.
Violations & Fines
Selling fireworks in Beaverton without an approved Temporary Non-Mobile Sales permit, a City Business License, or the required state or local fireworks license violates Development Code section 40.80.15 and risks citation or permit denial.
