Pickerington follows Ohio HB 172 (2022) allowing consumer fireworks on designated state holidays between 4 PM and 11 PM. City has not opted out of the state framework, so residents may discharge 1.4G consumer fireworks on legal dates.
Legal discharge days under ORC 3743.45 include July 3-5, December 31, January 1, Memorial Day weekend, Labor Day weekend, Juneteenth, Cinco de Mayo, and Diwali. Hours are 4 PM to 11 PM, extended to midnight on July 4, December 31, and January 1. Users must be 18 or older. Fireworks cannot be discharged on public property, school grounds, or while under the influence. Violet Township Fire responds to complaints involving property damage or injuries.
Illegal discharge is a first-degree misdemeanor — up to 180 days jail and $1,000 fine. Property damage leads to civil liability.
