Question 1

Is it legal to use fireworks in Panama City Beach?

Accepted Answer

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law in April 2020 that allows Floridians to use fireworks legally – but only on three days out of the year.

Those days are Independence Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.....and only certain types of fireworks are allowed.

Basically, under state statutes, the types of fireworks people are allowed to set off on those three holidays are firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, roman candles, dago bombs, blank cartridges, toy cannons and fireworks containing any explosives or flammable compound.

Pop-its, snaps, sparklers, glow worms, trick noisemakers, party poppers, booby traps, smoke devices, a cigarette load, trick matches and auto burglar alarms are allowed to be purchased anytime during the year as they are not defined as fireworks in the statutes.

Bay County says only Florida approved fireworks are allowed and they recommend leaving it to professionals.

Question 2

What are the PCB fireworks laws?

Accepted Answer

Panama City Beach adheres to Florida fireworks laws found in Chapter 791 of the Florida Statutes.

According to the State Fire Marshal’s Office, anyone using fireworks must have a permit from their local government or for certain agricultural purposes be exempted by law. It is illegal in Florida to use fireworks, which include: shells and mortars, multiple tube devices, Roman candles, rockets and firecrackers, when such use is not in strict compliance with Chapter 791.012, Florida Statutes. Floridians should not sign "waivers" in order to purchase fireworks.
