Brevard County enforces FL Statute 791 regarding fireworks. Consumer fireworks are legal on designated holidays (July 4, Dec 31, Jan 1) per Florida HB 1059. Permitted parades and fireworks displays are exempt from the noise ordinance under Section 46-127. Cities cannot ban use on designated holidays.
FL Statute §791 regulates fireworks. HB 1059 (2020) legalized consumer fireworks on designated holidays: July 4, December 31, and January 1. Previously, a widely used “agricultural use” exemption served as a loophole. Cities cannot ban fireworks on designated holidays but can regulate discharge hours and locations. Sparklers and novelty items available year-round. Professional displays require fire marshal permits. During burn bans, additional restrictions may apply.
Illegal discharge outside designated days: second-degree misdemeanor up to $500. Reckless use causing injury: felony charges possible.
