Summary
Plantation's code reserves the city's power to license, regulate, suppress or prohibit the sale and discharge of fireworks, and requires city council approval before fireworks are sold from vacant property. The code sets no list of legal discharge dates.
This chapter does not prohibit the use of fireworks solely and exclusively during a designated holiday.
Full Breakdown
Section 11-2 gives the city the power to license, regulate, suppress or prohibit the sale and discharge of fireworks. The seasonal-sales rule is in section 14-37(b): displaying and selling seasonal items such as fireworks on vacant property is limited to nonresidentially zoned land and must be conditionally permitted by the city council, which can require liability insurance, a site-cleanup cash bond of at least $100, traffic and security measures, and limits on days and hours. Section 8-2 adopts the NFPA Life Safety and Fire Codes and the Florida Fire Prevention Code with Broward County amendments, and section 8-4 requires a fire chief's permit before kindling most open fires.
Violations & Fines
Selling fireworks from vacant property without city council approval, or failing to clean the site, forfeits the cash bond; ordinance violations otherwise carry a fine up to $500 under section 1-13.
