Burn Permits

Open burning is the burning of materials such as trees, brush, leaves, grass and other debris where smoke and other emissions are released directly into the air.  Air pollution from open burning can cause serious health problems, obscure visibility, or damage the environment.   The Department of Environmental Quality regulates open burning to address these concerns.  Their rules require a permit for open burning.  Apply for your permit below.
