Burn Permits

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. 

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. 

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.
