Under Iowa law a permit is no longer needed to shoot off consumer grade fireworks on your own property. For all commercial grade or display fireworks you must obtain a permit through the Auditor's Office. For fireworks to be considered 'display fireworks' you must have a licensed company shoot them off.

Under the law there are restrictions on dates and times when fireworks can be displayed for individual use.
  
  • A person shall not use or explode consumer fireworks on days other than June 1 - July 8 and December 10 - January 3 of each year, all dates inclusive.
  • A person shall not use or explode consumer fireworks at times other than between the hours of 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.
