Port St. Lucie follows Florida law, which permits consumer fireworks only on three designated holidays - New Year's Day (Jan 1), Independence Day (July 4), and New Year's Eve (Dec 31). On all other days only sparklers and approved novelties listed under FS 791.01 may be used, and a St. Lucie County Fire District permit is required for any public fireworks display.
Florida Statutes section 791.08 (effective 2020) exempts the use of fireworks from the general state prohibition when they are used 'solely and exclusively during a designated holiday' - defined as January 1, July 4, and December 31. Outside those dates, only items meeting the 'sparkler' definition in FS 791.01(8) (handheld or ground-based devices that emit sparks but do not explode or fly) and approved novelties may be discharged; true aerial and explosive consumer fireworks remain unlawful. The statute expressly does not supersede stricter local government regulation or a recorded HOA covenant. Any public fireworks display in Port St. Lucie must be reviewed and inspected by the St. Lucie County Fire District (the city's adopted fire authority), which charges a $217.50 review-and-inspection fee per its Fire Prevention Code fee schedule (Resolution 690-20). A countywide burn ban can suspend even the three holiday allowances.
Discharging non-exempt fireworks outside the three designated holidays is a first-degree misdemeanor under Chapter 791, Florida Statutes (up to $1,000 fine and up to 1 year in jail). Conducting a public display without a St. Lucie County Fire District permit is punishable as a misdemeanor by a fine of up to $500 and/or up to 365 days imprisonment under section 17 of the District's Fire Prevention Code.
