New city regulations will limit the number of fireworks stand permits issued in 2019 to five
BATTLE GROUND — The retail sale of fireworks within the city of Battle Ground is regulated by Washington state statute and city code.

New city regulations will limit the number of fireworks stand permits issued in 2019 to five. In order to determine which five nonprofit organizations may apply for a fireworks stand permit, a lottery will be conducted.
Eligible nonprofits interested in obtaining a permit to sell fireworks in 2019 must enter the lottery by submitting a Fireworks Stand Lottery Application to the city no later than 5 p.m. on Jan. 31. The lottery will take place on Fri., March 15.
