ALABAMA (WHNT) — Happy 4th of July! Many Americans are getting ready to light up those grills and tiki torches, but is it legal to light up fireworks in your area?

Fireworks are a hot topic among neighborhoods and subdivisions around Independence Day, and with this year’s holiday landing on a Monday, you may have plans to celebrate at home instead of heading out to an event.

Check out if your area allows fireworks below. Don’t see your city or county? Let us know here!

Note: Not all cities have updated websites or ordinances. If you don’t see your area listed here, be sure to check with your local police or sheriff’s department for more information.

In most counties and unincorporated areas, it is legal to shoot fireworks. Some areas also have time restrictions limiting the period you can use personal fireworks. Your local police or sheriff’s department can tell you about your particular area.

If fireworks are illegal in your area, there are plenty of community events across North Alabama that will have a fireworks show or celebration. If you’d like to find one near you, we have a list of those for you here.
