NOTICE: As of October 28, 2011, the countywide outdoor burn ban, in effect since July 1, 2011, has been rescinded. A permit is required before any outdoor burning is allowed. Please review the rules and procedures to follow to apply for an outdoor burn permit. Burn permits issued by the Collin County Fire Marshal are only valid for property in unincorporated areas within the county, not inside city limits.
Residential Burn Permits expire 90 days from the date issued. Upon written request the permit may be granted a 90 day extension. The written request must be received by this office 10 business days prior to the expiration date. Commercial burn permits expire 7 days from the date issued, no extension allowed.
Authorization to conduct outdoor burning does not exempt or excuse a person from the responsibility, consequences, damages,
or injuries resulting from the authorized burning and does not excuse
a person from complying with other applicable laws, ordinances or regulations.
