Agricultural, Open Air and Recreational burning in the Township of Brock is regulated through the Burn By-law.

All properties require a burn permit prior to having a fire.

Apply for a Burn Permit 

Applying for Permit - Frequent Errors 

 When I enter my address, it says it is within a restricted zone.

There are three types of permits, all based on property size. Click "cancel" and return to "Select Permit Type." 
Ensure you are selecting the correct permit type for your property. 

RB - Recreational Burn - permitted on all properties, including in urban areas of Brock. 

OAB - Open Air Burn - NOT permitted in urban areas. Only permitted in rural areas on properties with at least 1/2 acre of land.

AP - Agricultural Permit - NOT permitted on any land other than agricultural land with at least 10 acres. 

 Can I purchase a permit for next year, before the current year is over?

No. You can only purchase a permit for the current year. 

If you apply for a permit in 2025, you will receive a 2025 permit. 

To apply for a 2026 permit, you must wait until January 1, 2026, otherwise you will be automatically generated a 2025 permit. 

My permit says pending, why? 

You may have a pending status for one of two reasons. 

1. You rent the property and the owner has not provided permission to the Fire Department in writing. 

2. You created a permit but have not made payment. 

When a permit is pending, burning is not permitted. 

 When I enter my location, it shows the wrong property on the map. 

To adjust your property location on the map, click on the red symbol and drag it to the correct location. The red symbol can be dragged and dropped as many times as necessary. 

You can zoom in and out on the map by using the controls in the bottom right corner. 

 I do not have means to make payment online. 

Payment can also be made in person, at the Administrative Building in Cannington. 

1 Cameron Street E, Cannington, ON 

To make payment in Beaverton or Sunderland, contact the Fire Department to make arrangements. 

If you are still having trouble, please call or email the Fire Department at 705-432-2355 ext. 233 or ext. 228.

Permit Rates

The following permit fees apply:

  • $30 per year for an Open Air Burning Permit
  • $25 per year for a Recreational Burning Permit
  • $100 per year for an Agricultural Burning Permit

Renters

If you don't own the property, you are required to have the burn permit approved by the owner of the property.

Renewing your Permit

You need to re-apply for a new burn permit each year. All permits expire on December 31 of each calendar year.

Initiating a Burn Event

You are required to call 1-855-955-1101 to initiate a Burn Event.
