Davie follows Florida law: consumer fireworks may be used only on January 1, July 4, and December 31. Year-round, only sparklers and approved novelties are legal. Town Code section 7-3 also bans exploding fireworks within 1,000 feet of any livestock enclosure, stable, or kennel.
The Town of Davie does not have a standalone fireworks ordinance broader than state law, but it does add a local restriction. Under Florida Statutes Chapter 791, aerial and explosive consumer fireworks are legal for personal use only on three designated holidays: New Year's Day (January 1), Independence Day (July 4), and New Year's Eve (December 31), per section 791.08. Outside those days, only sparklers and approved novelties that do not explode or launch into the air may be used, as defined in section 791.01. The Town of Davie's own Code, section 7-3, prohibits exploding any fireworks within 1,000 feet of any livestock enclosure, stable, or kennel - a rule reflecting Davie's well-known equestrian and agricultural character. The Davie Police Department has publicly cited section 7-3 in fireworks-safety advisories. Large public fireworks displays require a Town-issued license and a permitted, professional operator. State law treats illegal fireworks use as a first-degree misdemeanor. Residents in HOA or apartment communities should also check private rules, which may be stricter than both Town and state law.
Illegal fireworks use is a first-degree misdemeanor under Florida law, punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine up to $1,000 plus court costs. Exploding fireworks within 1,000 feet of livestock, a stable, or a kennel violates Davie Town Code section 7-3 and may bring local enforcement.
