NYE Reminder: Fireworks Not Allowed in City of Katy Limits
Fireworks stands will be starting to pop up soon, but before you go out to buy them, please remember fireworks are NOT allowed in the City limits.
This is a ticketable offense if not obeyed with a fine of up to $200.00 and can result in the seizure and destruction of such fireworks.
To set off fireworks you MUST be out of the City limits, off public roads (including unpaved county roads and rights-of-way), and MUST have permission from the property owner whom property you are on to ignite fireworks.
Be safe, don’t let children play with fireworks or sparklers – be aware sparklers are burning metal that can burn up to 1,200 degrees!! Yes, you read that correctly… up to 1,200 degrees! Fireworks are not to be taken lightly. Remember that dry weather creates fire conditions that are dangerous and have the potential to spread quickly. Be mindful of your surroundings and be responsible.
To report a violation, call Non-Emergency Dispatch at 281-391-4848. For a fire or medical emergency call 9-1-1. Let’s have a safe holiday!
