Consumer fireworks are heavily restricted in unincorporated Utah County. In recent years, Stage 1 fire restrictions have banned fireworks on all unincorporated private land during the summer fireworks season.
Unincorporated Utah County is subject to annual fire restriction orders. In 2024, Stage 1 fire restrictions banned fireworks on all unincorporated private land in Utah County during the July 4 and July 24 (Pioneer Day) windows. Even in years without restrictions, Utah state law limits consumer fireworks to July 2–5 and July 22–25, with hours of 11 AM–11 PM (until midnight on July 4 and July 24). Rural properties near undeveloped land, forests, and foothills face the highest risk and most stringent enforcement. Always check the Utah State Fire Marshal's website and the Utah County Fire Marshal before lighting fireworks in unincorporated areas. Violations carry up to $1,000 fines.
Up to $1,000 fine; potential liability for fire suppression costs
