Under Florida Statute Chapter 791, fireworks that fly, explode, or detonate are generally prohibited. Effective July 1, 2020, Florida law created a limited exception allowing consumer fireworks use on three designated dates: Independence Day (July 4th), New Year's Eve (December 31st), and New Year's Day (January 1st). Outside these dates, only non-aerial, non-explosive novelty items such as sparklers, snakes, and glow worms are legal for consumer use. Within North Miami, the Fire Department at (305) 893-6511 enforces all fire safety regulations.

Using fireworks in a reckless manner or causing property damage carries criminal penalties under state law.
