All fireworks, including Safe and Sane, are illegal to possess or discharge within the City of Sacramento; penalties start at 1,000 dollars.
Sacramento prohibits all consumer fireworks under SMC Chapter 8.08 and California Health and Safety Code section 12500 et seq. Unlike some suburban cities, Sacramento does not allow Safe and Sane fireworks at any time. Possession, sale, or discharge inside city limits is an infraction with minimum 1,000 dollar penalties for first offenses, rising to 5,000 dollars for aggravating factors. Sacramento Fire and PD run Operation Boom Zero during the July 4 window, using an online reporting tool. Licensed public displays require a state fireworks license and city permit.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Sacramento code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
