Legal Documents of Baxter

Any individual or firm wanting to sell fireworks within the corporate limits of the City of Baxter shall purchase a Baxter transient business license from the city clerk and a fireworks permit from the Baxter Fire Chief (or designated representative). The sale of fireworks requires a permit from the Tennessee State Fire Marshal. The forms necessary to obtain such permits are available at the office of the Baxter Fire Chief. Upon obtaining the permit from the office of the state fire marshal, the applicant shall present the approved application and Baxter transient business license to the fire chief (or designated representative), who shall then inspect the site of the proposed fireworks sale. If the site is in conformance with all applicable rules and regulations, the fire chief (or designated representative) shall approve it for such use. The site shall not sell any firework prior to being approved and obtaining all necessary permits and transient business licenses. (Ord. #2020-18, June 2021, modified)
