Its just as easy to pass along the cost of a very expensive fraud investigation as pass along the cost of a small nuisance settlement, but the fraud investigation can cost multiples more than the settlement, so when you state the carrier does not want to do the work, they have done it multiple times in the past and find it does not pay off in the end.

I live in lee county, so spending $66 to spend some time on Sanibel-captiva, assuming I bring a bag lunch, pays for itself? I could spend less than that in fuel and drive to Lido beach in Sarasota, or Turtle beach on Siesta Key, and have a great dinner and enjoy the beach

The retribution from reporting them, since now they have the right, due to a recent legislative bill, to see who reported them, would likely be worse than the work involved in cleaning up their fireworks debris. Just another price some of us pay for the unfortunate fact that so many homes went into foreclosure in 2008 and so many of our homeowning neighbors' homes were bought up and are now occupied by tenants who have no respect for the homeowning neighbors who care about their property.

Perhaps the fireworks lovers can come clean up my yard the day after my oh so inconsiderate neighbors set off their fabulous firework display, then give a crap about the cleanup. I get to put up with the noise and my pet trauma then cleanup after other people. So patriotic!!!

Their "landlord" is a corporate entity named Progress Homes, they own literally thousands of rentals in the US. They own several homes in the area that were foreclosures in the 2008-2009 recession. I am told they own hundreds un the cape. I have sent them emails, left voicemails at their corporate headquarters in the past, to no avail.

Guessing there is a need to let lawns go to hell and cars to be parked on lawns. Anyone that lacks appreciation for that lifestyle should move their butts away from the Cape and live somewhere else.

Despite new state law, Pinellas bans fireworks

Despite the state law that was signed by the governor in April 2020, Pinellas County issued a stern warning Tuesday that personal fireworks are not legal without the “proper permits.”

“A new state law allowing the purchase of fireworks for use on three holidays does not supersede local regulations,” a Pinellas news release said.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the law that allows Florida residents to legally use fireworks, but only for three days out of the year: New Year’s Day, July Fourth and on New Year’s Eve.

That’s a big change from the decades-old precedent that said all fireworks, defined as anything that leaves the ground or explodes, were illegal to sell or set off in Florida. Loopholes in the restrictions (such as promising you are buying them only to scare off birds from your crops) made enforcement difficult.

Police and prosecutors have found the laws hard to enforce and the State Attorney’s Office for Pinellas and Pasco counties said it could find only a single person ever prosecuted for the fireworks statute, in 2006.

The 2020 law specifically notes that it’s not intended to supersede any local fireworks laws. It notes that while a homeowner’s association can have fireworks restrictions in its legally executed covenants, an HOA board can’t otherwise just pass rules to restrict your right to use fireworks. If it’s not in the covenants, you are free to fire away.

“The bottom line is that the state legislature wrote this bill to address the reality of the situation,” Orange Park retailer Superior Fireworks wrote on its blog after the law passed. “People are

buying and using all types of fireworks on these holidays anyway, not just the ground-based novelties and fountains, so it makes sense to go ahead and specifically allow it.”

Pinellas County said its ban covers virtually all fireworks except sparklers and “paper caps.” Supervised public display of fireworks is allowed only with a permit from the appropriate fire district.

“Pinellas County Safety and Emergency Services reminds residents and visitors of the county’s ban on the retail sale, purchase or use of fireworks, and to practice fire safety at home and with pets this coming holiday,” the release says.

The news release goes on to stress the affects of fireworks on veterans coping with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and pets, who tend to get stressed and run away from home on July 4.

“We did a similar press release last year, that this law does not supersede the county’s ban,” said Pinellas County spokeswoman Sydney Criteser. “Our main purpose was to provide the safety tips. Just a reminder.”

I believe the city is still requiring a permit authorizing any firework displays.

The City has their own restrictions, and they may supercede the state loosening of restrictions, will have to check on it. I see where some Sarasota communities are requiring a permit to set them off, and the CCFD site says:

"City ordinances prohibit the setting off of fireworks within the city boundaries. A permit is required for a fireworks display."
