Florida law preempts most fireworks regulation. Consumer fireworks are legal in Dunedin only on Memorial Day, Independence Day, and New Year's Eve under Chapter 791, while sky lanterns remain banned year-round.
Florida Statute 791.08 expressly authorizes the use of consumer fireworks on three designated holidays each year: Memorial Day, July 4, and New Year's Eve through 1:00 a.m. on January 1. On all other dates, only sparklers and other novelties on the State Fire Marshal's approved list may be used. Sky lanterns and any device propelled by fire are prohibited under FS 791.01. Dunedin enforces the state framework through its adopted Florida Fire Prevention Code in Chapter 38 and may further restrict use during local burn bans or drought conditions. HOA covenants in many Dunedin neighborhoods can also limit fireworks beyond state law.
Illegal use outside designated holidays is a first-degree misdemeanor under FS 791.06, punishable by up to one year in jail and $1,000 fines plus civil penalties.
