Fireworks can cause serious injury and significant property damage. As a result, it is illegal to possess or use fireworks inside the City limits unless a permit has been issued by the AFD Special Events Division. Individuals who choose to violate that law may receive a citation and face a fine of up to $2,000.
Report use of illegal fireworks to Austin 3-1-1. Call 9-1-1 to report active fires or medical emergencies.
