Fireworks in Coral Gables are governed by Florida Statute Chapter 791, which permits consumer fireworks on designated holidays including July 4th, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. Local ordinances predating the 2020 state law may impose additional restrictions. Professional displays require permits from the Coral Gables Fire Department.
Florida Statute Chapter 791 allows consumer fireworks on three designated holidays: July 4th, December 31st, and January 1st. The 2020 state law preempts new local regulations that would ban fireworks use on these dates, though pre-existing local ordinances remain enforceable. Consumer fireworks must be purchased from licensed retailers and used by persons 18 years or older. Setting off fireworks near structures, vegetation, or vehicles creates liability for any resulting damage. Professional fireworks displays require a permit from the Coral Gables Fire Department at (305) 460-5525. Given Coral Gables' dense tree canopy and Mediterranean-style architecture, fire safety awareness is especially important during fireworks use.
Unauthorized use outside designated holidays may result in fines and confiscation. Fire damage liability falls on the user. Contact Coral Gables Fire Department at (305) 460-5525 for display permits or to report hazards.
