How do I obtain a burning permit?
The open burn policy was changed in 2013 to meet the revised standards of the State Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The DEQ no longer allows permits to be issued on an annual basis as had been done previously. Recent modifications to these rules change the open burn periods and include a statewide requirement to complete an online application with the DEQ and to obtain a burn permit from the local fire authority. The completed DEQ application and UFA-issued burn permit are required prior to conducting any residential burning. Burn permits may be issued between March 30 and May 30 and between September 15 and October 30. Only residents on (1) or more acres are eligible to apply for a residential burn permit. The cost for the burn permit is $25. The permit application process begins at the DEQ’s website. The $25 permit fee is paid online at the UFA website. Once the application has been processed and fee has been paid, UFA will contact the applicant to arrange a site inspection. The fire department shall inspect the area and what is to be burned. The fire crew will issue the permit following the inspection.
