Just moved & now living here in Kingsport TN, Sullivan County. Our closest neighbors are about 100 yards away. We were hoping to shoot-off fireworks on New Years Eve around 9:00 - 10:00 PM, but I don’t want to upset the “Apple-Cart”. - or anger the neighbors. Can anyone inform me what the noise ordinance cutoff time is? We have lot’s of land and none of the items (fireworks) will land in a neighbors back yard. Appreciate the help.

Do you actually live inside the Kingsport city limits? The city recently passed a new ordinance prohibiting private fireworks. The city had previously been covered by the Sullivan County ban until it was recently rescinded.

If you are outside the city within Sullivan County then you are probably OK with the distances you listed. Just be sure you are aware of the time windows for allowed use. I read about the new county law restricting times of use.....

"•Fireworks may only be detonated between the hours of 2 p.m. and 10 p.m., with the exception that fireworks may be detonated between the hours of 2 p.m. and midnight on the eve of Memorial Day, Memorial Day, July 3, Independence Day, eve of Veterans Day, Veterans Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
•Fireworks may not be detonated closer than 100 feet to any inhabited residential structure unless the occupant or owner of such residence gives permission.
•A penalty of $500 shall apply to anyone who violates the above."
