Oakland County, MI Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

The Michigan Fireworks Safety Act (Public Act 256 of 2011, MCL 28.451 through 28.471) permits the sale and use of consumer fireworks statewide. Under MCL 28.457(2), local units of government may enact ordinances regulating the ignition, discharge, and use of consumer fireworks, but such ordinances may not prohibit use on the following dates and times: December 31 from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. January 1; Saturday and Sunday before Memorial Day from 11 a.m. to 11:45 p.m.; June 29 through July 4 from 11 a.m. to 11:45 p.m.; July 5 if a Friday or Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11:45 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday before Labor Day from 11 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. MCL 28.457(5) requires that any local ordinance enacted under subsection (2) impose a civil fine of $1,000 per violation, with $500 of the fine remitted to the local law enforcement agency. Most Oakland County communities (Royal Oak Chapter 345, Troy, Farmington Hills) have adopted the maximum permissible restriction, banning consumer fireworks except during the state-protected windows. Fireworks may only be discharged on the user's own property, with permission on someone else's property, or with permission on public property; discharge is prohibited while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
