Pyrotechnic Permit application

Any person who manages, directs, or supervises the discharge of a public display of fireworks is required to obtain a permit for a supervised public display of fireworks. Prior to any pyrotechnic show, indoor or outdoor display, a permit application must be submitted. The permit will be issued once all information has been reviewed and approved
