Jackson County follows Mississippi's permissive fireworks laws. MS Code Ann. §45-13-7 allows consumer fireworks sales and use with local municipalities setting time and place restrictions.
Mississippi is one of the most permissive states for fireworks. MS Code Ann. §45-13-7 allows the sale and use of consumer fireworks statewide. Jackson County may impose local restrictions on hours of use, typically allowing fireworks from 10 AM to 11 PM with extended hours on July 4th and New Year's Eve. Sales require a state permit under MS Code Ann. §45-13-5. Fireworks may not be discharged within 200 feet of hospitals, churches, or gas stations. Minimum age to purchase is 12 years old with some retailers setting higher limits. Mississippi does not ban any class of consumer fireworks. Local fire departments may restrict use during drought conditions.
Violating local time restrictions: $50 to $200 fine. Discharging near restricted areas: $200 to $500 fine. Causing property damage creates civil and possible criminal liability.
