Consumer fireworks are legal statewide in South Carolina and permitted inside Simpsonville, but the city limits you to ICC class C 'common fireworks' and requires you to discharge them only on private property, never on public streets or in the fire zone/business district without council approval.
South Carolina is a permissive fireworks state: consumer fireworks are legal under SC Code Title 23, Chapter 35. Simpsonville's Chapter 20, Article V permits only ICC class C 'common fireworks' and enumerates types (Roman candles and bottle rockets not over 20 grams each, cylindrical fountains not over 75 grams with inside diameter under three-fourths inch, cone fountains not over 50 grams). It is unlawful to ignite or discharge permissible fireworks within city limits on other than private property, and firing within the fire zone requires council approval. Possessing or using non-permissible fireworks in the city is prohibited. Always check for any city-declared discharge-hour or nuisance limits before use.
Possessing, selling, storing, transporting, or using non-permissible fireworks, or discharging on public property, violates Chapter 20, Article V; enforced by police/fire marshal with municipal fines.
