Want to Blow Stuff Off on the 4th? Requests for Fireworks Permits are Due June 15

Fireworks are as much as part of the 4th of July as picnics and parades, and Muskego residents are able to indulge in setting off their own celebration. However, before you put a flame to the wick, take note:

Applications are due, with $15 cash or check payable to the City of Muskego by close of business (4:30 p.m.) on Friday, June 15.

The permit is for individual use of fireworks at the location listed on your application and on the fireworks display date (July 1 through July 7) only.

A separate application must be completed for each day requested.

The City of Muskego requires proof of homeowners insurance.

You can mail check and proof of insurance with the form to:

Attn: Fireworks Permit,
City of Muskego
P.O. Box 749
Muskego, WI 53150

or drop-off in drop box in front of City Hall.
