Under Ohio's 2022 fireworks law (ORC Chapter 3743), adults may discharge 1.4G consumer fireworks on their own or authorized property on designated holidays, unless the local township, municipality, or county has banned or restricted them. Check your specific jurisdiction in Summit County.
Since HB 172 (effective July 1, 2022), ORC 3743.45 lets a person who legally possesses 1.4G consumer fireworks discharge them on private property, with the owner's permission, on set days: January 1, Chinese New Year, May 5, the Memorial Day weekend, June 19, July 3-5 (plus the surrounding weekends), Labor Day weekend, Diwali, and December 31. Any county, township, or municipality may restrict the dates and times or ban discharge entirely. Several Summit County municipalities and townships have adopted local bans, so confirm your city, village, or township rule before lighting fireworks.
Discharging on non-designated days or in a jurisdiction that has opted out is a misdemeanor; local ordinance penalties and fines apply. Illegal 1.3G display fireworks require a licensed operator.
