Firework Laws: what is legal, when can they be sold and when and where can they be used?

As of Jan. 1, 2021, certain fireworks are legal to purchase and be used within Arizona. 

Legal Consumer Fireworks

The consumer fireworks that are legal in Arizona are: ground and hand-held sparkling devices; cylindrical/cone fountains; illuminating torches; wheels; ground spinners; flitter sparklers; toy smoke devices; wire sparklers and dipped sticks. 

Illegal Consumer Fireworks

The consumer fireworks that continue to be illegal for use in Arizona are: sky rockets/bottle/missile-type rockets; helicopters, aerial spinners, torpedoes, roman candles, mine devices; firecrackers; reloadable shell devices; aerials and single tube devices that are shot up into the air. 

It is important to know that legal consumer fireworks are allowed only on private property and a person(s) who use, discharge or ignite permissible consumer fireworks are responsible and liable for expenses as a result of any emergency response that is required by such use, discharge or ignition per the Town Code.
