During certain times of the year, residential landscape debris burning of dead vegetation, agency sponsored and agricultural burning projects, and broadcast burning is allowed. However, burn permits are required and during the dry months, burning will be suspended altogether. Check our Current Notices & Alerts page for burn day status.
When burning is allowed, be considerate of your neighbors and the community by only burning dry materials, burning on a burn day, during burn hours. As an alternative to burning, consider composting your vegetative material.
