Troutdale, OR Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

Oregon Revised Statute 480.110-480.165 — administered by the Oregon State Fire Marshal — governs the sale, possession, and use of fireworks throughout Oregon, including Troutdale. Only fireworks classified as 'retail' or consumer fireworks lawfully sold during the state-permitted window (typically June 23 through July 6) may be used by the public, and even those must not fly into the air, explode, eject burning material, or travel more than 6 feet on the ground or 12 inches into the air — so most aerial and exploding devices brought in from other states are illegal in Troutdale. The City of Troutdale has not adopted a citywide ban beyond state law; Mayor Randy Lauer's official 2021 fireworks statement confirmed that state-legal consumer fireworks remain permitted on private property with the property owner's consent. However, TMC Section 13.20.250 (Title 13 — Parks; Chapter 13.20 — Park Rules) flatly prohibits any person from bringing, possessing, or discharging fireworks, explosives, or inflammable material in any Troutdale park, or throwing them into a park from adjacent land or highway. TMC 13.20.230 separately prohibits open fires in parks except in designated areas. Enforcement is handled by Troutdale Police and the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office; illegal fireworks complaints may be reported to the Sheriff's non-emergency line at 503-823-3333 (911 only for active fires or emergencies). State law authorizes civil penalties up to $2,500 per violation and seizure of illegal fireworks.
