Burn Permit
Update October 1, 2024: Burn Permits suspended until further notice
Burn permits will be suspended until further notice due to the dry weather conditions and lack of moisture. We will communicate again when conditions improve and we resume issuing permits.
Thank you for working with us to protect lives, property, and crops.
Please review the Burn Permit guidelines and bring the completed application and $10 fee to the City Office located at 14130 Lancashire St. Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for approval from the Fire Chief. Please allow 24 hours for approval. After your burn permit is approved, you will be required to contact the fire chief 24 hours prior to burning. Please plan accordingly.
