Jurupa Valley bans all fireworks, including state-approved safe-and-sane fireworks and sparklers. Municipal Code Chapter 11.40 prohibits the sale, use, discharge, and possession of fireworks anywhere in the city, and violators face fines and fire-suppression cost liability.
Jurupa Valley Municipal Code Title 11, Chapter 11.40 (Fireworks), section 11.40.020 prohibits the sale, use, discharge, and possession of fireworks citywide. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department, which polices the city by contract, confirms that all fireworks, including sparklers, are illegal throughout Riverside County's unincorporated areas and contract cities. California Health and Safety Code sections 12500 et seq. classify fireworks statewide, but Jurupa Valley does not permit even the state's safe-and-sane category. Licensed public displays remain possible under the fire code: Ordinance No. 2025-24 added 2025 California Fire Code section 5608.2 requiring a fallout-area radius of 100 feet per inch of internal mortar diameter for aerial shells. Residents are directed to professional shows listed by the Riverside County Fire Department.
Anyone using, storing, selling, distributing, or possessing fireworks is subject to fines, and individuals who start fires with illegal fireworks can be held responsible for all suppression costs, which can run into millions of dollars, plus criminal prosecution.
