Consumer fireworks are prohibited in Boynton Beach year-round except on the three state-preempted holidays of July 4, December 31, and January 1, when FL §791.08 overrides local bans. Sparklers and novelties allowed year-round.
Florida Statute §791.08 (effective 2020 under HB 1059) prohibits local governments from restricting consumer fireworks on Independence Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. Outside these dates, Boynton Beach Code Chapter 9 treats aerial and explosive fireworks as a fire hazard subject to citation. Discharge is prohibited within 100 feet of any structure, fuel station, or dry vegetation. Palm Beach County burn bans override the holiday preemption when issued. Commercial displays require a permit from Boynton Beach Fire Rescue and a $1 million liability insurance certificate.
Discharge outside permitted holidays: $250 civil citation. Causing property damage or injury: criminal charges under FL §791.06 (first-degree misdemeanor, up to $1,000 fine and 1 year jail). Minors using fireworks: parent/guardian held liable.
