Prescott Valley, AZ Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

Town Code § 10-01-030 governs fireworks in the Town of Prescott Valley and splits the rules into possession, use and sale. Possession is prohibited except for two groups: persons of suitable age and discretion can possess novelty items, and persons at least sixteen (16) years of age or older can possess permissible consumer fireworks. The Town defines consumer and display fireworks by reference to A.R.S. § 36-1601, and novelty items are the federally deregulated snappers, snap caps, party poppers, glow worms, snakes, toy smoke devices, sparklers and certain toys.

Use, discharge or ignition is prohibited Town-wide with three exceptions. Novelty items can be used with appropriate caution and supervision by a responsible adult. Supervised public displays by licensed fireworks contractors and shooters can be permitted after inspection and authorization by the Fire Marshal or designee, who has authority to impose conditions and to decline or revoke authorization during periods when High Fire Danger Warnings are in effect. Permissible consumer fireworks are limited to two windows, June 24 through July 6 and December 24 through January 3, for users sixteen (16) or older. If a federal or state agency implements a stage one or higher fire restriction during either window, use is strictly prohibited each and every day the restriction is in place.

Sales run on a wider calendar: May 20 through July 6 and December 10 through January 3, only to buyers at least sixteen (16) years of age, with the same stage one suspension. Sellers must obtain a permit from the Fire Marshal for any permanent building or temporary stand, tent or canopy, allow no smoking within fifty (50) feet of the sales area, keep storage vehicles and containers at least ten (10) feet from the facility, and post signs reading Fireworks No Smoking and No Fireworks Discharge Within 300 Feet. Sales also have to meet NFPA 1124 and State Fire Marshal rules.
