| Burn Permit |
|
Burn permit required for any open burning. A $10 annual burn permit is required for anyone burning anything more than a 3'x3' firepit or fireplace (campfires). A free annual camp fire burn permit is required for anyone burning anything less than a 3'x3' firepit or fireplace (campfires). For those that are only having campfires, there is no charge for the annual camp fire burn permit, so the person burning will still have a permit number to call in to dispatch.
