Houston Fireworks Ban Info

The Houston Fire Department reminds citizens that it is illegal to discharge fireworks or tohave fireworks in your possession in the City of Houston.

Harris County residents shouldalso be aware that HFD will be enforcing the fireworks ban in the Limited Purpose Annexation areas. There are also some places you cannot use fireworks even in the unincorporated county.

For more information about these restrictions, please visit the Harris County Fire Marshal Website or check the Houston Fire Dept.

The fines are anywhere from $500 - $2000 for each individual firework. Each case is different and it would be up to a judge to determine the exact amount.

Warnings are no longer used because of the seriousness of the firework laws. If a minor is caught with fireworks, the parent or guardian will receive the fine even if they were unaware of the minor's possession and/or usage.
