Any entity intending to set off certain fireworks in the unincorporated areas of Johnson County must obtain a permit from the Board of Supervisors. Displays within the limits of an incorporated municipality are governed by the ordinances of that city, not the Board of Supervisors.
A signed application must be accompanied by:
- Evidence of operator certification
- Diagram of the shoot site
- Proof of insurance
- $40 application fee
A hard copy of the signed application with all required attachments should be submitted for consideration by the Board of Supervisors Office at least 21 days before the anticipated display.
