When can I set off fireworks?

The policy is “zero tolerance” for illegal fireworks, which it defines as anything that leaves the ground — bottle rockets, Roman candles, aerials, artillery shells, missiles and the like.

Sparklers, fountains, smoke balls, wheels, spinners and similar novelty items are allowed, but only on your own lot, and only on July 4th from dusk until 12:30 a.m. and on December 31st from dusk to 12:30 a.m. Children under sixteen may not possess or use fireworks without direct adult supervision. A burn ban overrides all of this.

That is a summary in plain words. The passages below are what the documents actually say, and they are the authority.
