All fireworks are banned in Yorba Linda under Municipal Code Chapter 8.16, including state-approved 'Safe and Sane' items. It is unlawful to sell, give away, purchase, possess, or discharge any fireworks. Only City Council-permitted public displays under the County Fire Warden are allowed.
Chapter 8.16 of the Yorba Linda Municipal Code makes it unlawful to sell, give away, purchase, possess, or discharge any fireworks within the City, with no exception for 'Safe and Sane' consumer fireworks that carry a State Fire Marshal license. Like nearly all Orange County cities, Yorba Linda has never licensed retail fireworks sales, so sparklers, fountains, and ground spinners are all illegal here even though they are legal in some California cities. The only lawful fireworks are public displays: the City Council, in its discretion, may grant a permit for a supervised public display, and the applicant must file a detailed statement with the City Manager not less than fifteen days before the proposed display, which is conducted under
Illegal fireworks are enforced by Yorba Linda Police Services and the Orange County Fire Authority; residents report violations to police dispatch at 714-647-7000. Possession or use of state-classified 'dangerous fireworks' is a misdemeanor under California Health & Safety Code Section
