Fireworks
are prohibited in Tacoma
All fireworks are illegal within the Tacoma city limits.
Violators of the fireworks law are subject to a fine and the confiscation of
their fireworks.
Most fireworks violations are class 2 civil infractions and
can result in a $257 fine; citizens using fireworks are still subject to arrest
for other charges (i.e. arson, reckless burning, and assault). Fireworks are
only permissible within city limits when a permit has been issued for a
sanctioned public event.
Citizen’s can report fireworks violations from June 29 – July 4 by calling (253) 798-4722. If the fireworks violation appears to put people or property in immediate danger, call 911. The Tacoma Police Department will have special enforcement patrols and regular patrols to respond to fireworks related calls.
