All consumer fireworks are BANNED within Kansas City city limits, including sparklers and aerial devices. This is a stricter local ordinance than Missouri state law, which permits fireworks statewide.
Kansas City prohibits all consumer fireworks within city limits, including sparklers, ground-based devices, and aerial fireworks. This is a local ban enacted under the city's charter home-rule authority, stricter than RSMo §320.106 which permits consumer fireworks statewide June 20–July 10 and Dec 20–Jan 2. The Kansas City Fire Marshal enforces the ban year-round. Violations can result in fines and confiscation. Exceptions apply for licensed professional displays with a permit from the Fire Marshal's office.
Fines typically $200–$500 per violation; fireworks confiscated. Repeat violations may result in higher penalties.
