Full Breakdown

Boone County's zoning ordinance allows a seasonal temporary fireworks stand outright in the C-G General Commercial District as a permitted use. A permanent fireworks stand or store is listed separately, as a conditional use in the same district, meaning it needs Planning and Zoning Commission approval before it can operate: unlike the seasonal stand, which does not.

Violations & Fines

Setting up a permanent fireworks store without first obtaining a conditional use permit, or operating a stand outside the C-G district, is a zoning violation subject to Planning Department enforcement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell fireworks year-round in Boone County?
Only with a conditional use permit: a permanent fireworks stand or store is a conditional use in the C-G Commercial District, not a by-right use.
Where can a seasonal fireworks stand operate?
Seasonal temporary fireworks stands are permitted by right only in the C-G General Commercial District under county zoning.
