Summary

Consumer fireworks are legal statewide under Michigan's Fireworks Safety Act, but Macomb County does not regulate them: each township or city sets the days and hours of use. Under MCL 28.457, a local ordinance may restrict discharge but cannot ban it on state-protected holiday windows.

City-specific rules exist: Sterling Heights, and Warren have their own fireworks rules that differ from Macomb County's county-level regulations. If you live in one of those cities, check the city-specific page instead.

An ordinance under subsection (2) shall impose a civil fine of $1,000.00 for each violation of the ordinance and no other fine or sanction.

Full Breakdown

Michigan's Fireworks Safety Act allows sale and use of consumer fireworks statewide. MCL 28.457(2) lets a local unit of government (township, city, or village) enact an ordinance regulating the ignition, discharge, and use of consumer fireworks, but that ordinance may not restrict use on protected days after 11 a.m.. December 31 until 1 a.m. January 1, the weekend before Memorial Day, June 29 through July 4, July 5 (if a Friday or Saturday), and the weekend before Labor Day, each until 11:45 p.m. Macomb County has no countywide fireworks ordinance, so the rule that applies to you is your municipality's.

Violations & Fines

Violating a local consumer-fireworks ordinance carries a mandatory civil fine of $1,000 per violation under MCL 28.457(3); no other fine or sanction may be imposed. Municipalities may retain part of the fine for the enforcing law-enforcement agency.
