Fireworks Licensing
The Barton County Environmental Management Division handles the Fireworks Stand Licensing for all persons interested in selling fireworks in the Unincorporated areas of Barton County. This applies to the Seasonal Sales which run from June 26 through July 4th.
There is an application that you must apply for as well as a fee that you must pay based on the size of your facility, and once you are ready for your site inspection staff will conduct the inspection to make sure you comply with all the requirements of the resolution and issue your license. Both Resolutions regarding the definition of Fireworks that are permitted for discharge in Barton County and the regulations pertaining to when they can be sold and how your fireworks stand must be located on the property are listed below for easy reference.
There is now a second opportunity to sell fireworks in the Unincorporated areas of Barton County. This second opportunity runs from December 24 through January 1 and it is only for Permanent Retailers as defined in the Kansas Fireworks Act found in K.S.A. 31-501, et. seq. The Permanent Retailer must work with the State Fire Marshall's Office of Kansas and must have met the specific inspection requirements, licensing requirements, and registration requirements before they can operate.
