Fireworks in Zephyrhills are governed by Florida Statute Chapter 791. FL HB 1059 (2020) legalized consumer fireworks on July 4th, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. Cities cannot ban fireworks on these designated holidays.
Fireworks regulations in Zephyrhills align with Florida state law, which defines which types of consumer fireworks are legal for purchase and use. In city limits, consumer fireworks (where legal under state law) are generally limited to use around July 4th and December 31st-January 1st. Aerial fireworks and explosive devices may be prohibited entirely depending on state classification. Professional fireworks displays require a permit from the Zephyrhills Fire Department, proof of insurance, and an on-site licensed pyrotechnician. During drought or high fire-danger periods, the fire marshal may impose additional restrictions or total bans.
Illegal fireworks use carries fines of $250–$1,000. Reckless use causing property damage or injury may result in misdemeanor or felony charges. Professional displays without permits face fines up to $5,000.
