Consumer fireworks legal on July 4th, Dec 31, and Jan 1 under FL §791.08 state preemption. Outside those dates, only sparklers and novelties are legal without a permit. City Fire Prevention (Chapter 95) and Broward County enforce restrictions.
Fireworks regulations in Pompano Beach align with Florida state law, which defines which types of consumer fireworks are legal for purchase and use. In city limits, consumer fireworks (where legal under state law) are generally limited to use around July 4th and December 31st-January 1st. Aerial fireworks and explosive devices may be prohibited entirely depending on state classification. Professional fireworks displays require a permit from the Pompano Beach Fire Department, proof of insurance, and an on-site licensed pyrotechnician. During drought or high fire-danger periods, the fire marshal may impose additional restrictions or total bans.
Illegal fireworks use carries fines of $250–$1,000. Reckless use causing property damage or injury may result in misdemeanor or felony charges. Professional displays without permits face fines up to $5,000.
