Floyd County, IN Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

03, adopted by Ord. 2021-1 on January 19, 2021, lists acts that are unlawful inside any park operated by the county's Department of Parks and Recreation. Division (C) bars possessing, carrying or discharging fireworks on park premises, grouping fireworks with firearms, BB guns, air guns, bows and arrows, crossbows, slingshots, blowguns, rockets, paint ball guns and martial arts weapons. The ban lifts only if the Superintendent of Parks, the County Sheriff, or a duly sworn County Deputy Sheriff authorizes the activity in writing beforehand; there is no built-in exception for holidays such as the Fourth of July or New Year's Eve.

The rule reaches only park premises: it does not touch fireworks sales, storage, or use on private property elsewhere in unincorporated Floyd County, which fall under separate state fire-marshal rules rather than this chapter. 99: a civil penalty of up to $2,500 for a first violation and up to $7,500 for each later violation, with every day the violation continues counted as a separate offense. Collected fines are deposited into the county's Parks and Recreation Non-Reverting Program Fund rather than the county's general fund.
