Grapevine, TX Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

Grapevine Code of Ordinances Chapter 10 prohibits the sale, possession, storage, and discharge of consumer fireworks within city limits year-round. This includes common consumer items like bottle rockets, Roman candles, firecrackers, mortars, aerial shells, and fountains. The prohibition applies on all public and private property inside Grapevine regardless of holiday. Unincorporated Tarrant County and some surrounding jurisdictions allow consumer fireworks under TX Occupations Code 2154, but those allowances do not extend into Grapevine. Sparklers, glowworms, and party poppers classified as Class C novelty items are permitted in some cases but still subject to nuisance and fire rules. Professional fireworks displays (Grapevine July 4 at Oak Grove Park, New Year's at the Gaylord Texan) are authorized under separate commercial permits issued by the Grapevine Fire Department with a licensed pyrotechnic operator. Violations are Class C misdemeanors with fines up to 500 dollars under the local code, and state-level fireworks violations can carry up to 2,000 dollars in fines under TX Occupations Code 2154. Fireworks discovered inside the city are subject to seizure. Contact the Fire Department at (817) 410-8100 for current details.
