Consumer fireworks are prohibited in Ocoee year-round except on three state-preempted holidays: July 4, December 31, and January 1. Florida §791.08 blocks local bans on those dates. Sparklers and novelties remain legal year-round statewide.
Under FL §791.08 (2020 HB 1059), Ocoee cannot prohibit the use of consumer fireworks on Independence Day, New Year's Eve, or New Year's Day. Outside those dates, City Code and the Florida Fire Prevention Code restrict discharge to approved sparklers listed in FL §791.01. The Ocoee Fire Marshal regulates commercial displays, which require a permit and a licensed pyrotechnician. Discharge is prohibited within 500 feet of hospitals, schools, and fireworks storage. HOAs across Ocoee may impose stricter rules.
Illegal discharge outside preempted holidays: citation $250–$500. Fireworks causing fire or injury: criminal charges under FL §791.06 plus cost recovery. Selling non-approved fireworks without agricultural waiver: state-level enforcement.
