Novelty items and supervised public displays authorized under A.R.S. Section 36-1605(A) are exempt from the general ban. The Fire Chief may permit a supervised public display under Section 9.22.020(C) on written application filed at least five days in advance, subject to investigation of the operator, location and handling, and permits cannot issue, and may be revoked, during High Fire Danger warnings. Section 9.22.030 bars selling fireworks to anyone under sixteen and requires point-of-sale signage under Section 9.22.040. Enforcement runs through the fire chief, fire marshal, city police officers, code enforcement officers or the city attorney, who may issue civil or criminal complaints under Section 9.22.050.

Discharging permissible consumer fireworks outside the allowed dates/hours, or violating the sales-sign requirements, is a civil offense: a fine of $50 to $250 for a first offense, $250 to $500 for a second offense within a calendar year, and $500 to $1,000 for a third or later offense. Selling fireworks in violation of Section 9.22.030, discharging display fireworks without a permit, or violating permit conditions is a Class 2 misdemeanor punishable to the maximum allowed by law, per Section 9.22.060.
