Fireworks in Pasco County are governed by Florida Statute Chapter 791. FL HB 1059 (2020) legalized consumer fireworks on July 4th, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. Counties cannot ban fireworks on designated holidays.
FL Statute §791 regulates fireworks. HB 1059 (2020) legalized consumer fireworks on designated holidays: July 4, December 31, and January 1. Previously, a widely used “agricultural use” exemption served as a loophole. Cities cannot ban fireworks on designated holidays but can regulate discharge hours and locations. Sparklers and novelty items available year-round. Professional displays require fire marshal permits. During burn bans, additional restrictions may apply.
Illegal discharge outside designated days: second-degree misdemeanor up to $500. Reckless use causing injury: felony charges possible.
