Wisconsin Fireworks Laws
Wisconsin has complex fireworks laws. Most consumer fireworks require user to obtain permit.
Wisconsin requires USER PERMIT for most consumer fireworks - simple form from the municipality (the mayor of a city, president of a village, or chairperson of a town) where use will occur; counties do not issue these permits. Without permit, only sparkling devices (sparklers, fountains, smoke) permitted. Many municipalities ban or restrict. Milwaukee has restrictions. Wis. Stat. §167.10.
