Beaverton has historically taken an advisory approach rather than an outright fireworks ban. Oregon State Fire Marshal regulates fireworks under ORS 480.110–480.165 — only ground-based consumer fireworks are legal. Illegal fireworks include bottle rockets, Roman candles, firecrackers, and anything that flies or explodes. Fireworks purchased from licensed Oregon retailers are legal to use. Beaverton Police and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVF&R) focus enforcement on illegal fireworks during the Fourth of July. Noise ordinance (BMC 5.15) prohibits excessive noise after 10 PM. Non-emergency dispatch for illegal fireworks: 503-629-0111.
