Floyd County, GA Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

Sec. 2-13-9 sits in Chapter 2-13, the parks and recreation chapter that Sec. 2-13-4 applies to all parks and recreation areas under the jurisdiction of the county or the Rome-Floyd County Parks and Recreation Authority created under Sec. 2-13-2. The section makes it unlawful for any person to possess or set off fireworks in a recreation facility, then carves out a narrow exception: the county may permit properly supervised fireworks in a designated park area, but only if the person first obtains a permit from the judge of the probate court and complies with all applicable state law.

Because the section is written into the parks chapter rather than the county's fire prevention chapter, it governs conduct specifically inside a Floyd County recreation facility rather than fireworks use generally across the unincorporated county. Sec. 2-13-5 puts enforcement of the whole parks chapter, including the fireworks section, in the hands of any authorized law enforcement officer of the county or the recreation facility's own employees, so a park ranger or recreation staffer can act on a violation without waiting for a sheriff's deputy or county police officer to respond. The chapter's default penalty structure applies since Sec. 00 or imprisonment of up to 60 days under Sec. 2-1-8.
