QUESTION: Can associations regulate or even ban fireworks?
ANSWER: Yes, sparklers, firecrackers, and the like, can be
banned altogether within the development or limited to when and where
they can be used.
If the association is in a forested area the
board might, for safety reasons, ban fireworks altogether. High density
condominium projects might also ban them out of concern for damage to the common
areas.
Limitations. HOAs might allow them
in a common area park but limit the types of fireworks allowed. If the
restrictions are reasonable, most people will follow them.
