Burn Permits

Why Do I Need A Burn Permit

ADEQ requires that when homeowners wish to dispose of "slash" (brush trimmings, pine needles, weeds and such) by ways of burning, they must attain a permit from the local jurisdiction and adhere to certain rules.

When Can I Burn

Burning for means of removal of "slash" material is permitted when there are no fire restrictions, the property owner obtains a permit from us and burns within the times allotted.

How Do I Get A Permit

Annual permits can be filled out and submitted to burnpermit@hellsgatefire.org the form along with the rules can be found below. You may also file one in person at the main station in Star Valley during office hours (Monday-Thursday 8:30am to 4:30pm).

There is no cost for the permit. A local permit must accompany your state permit that will allow the burning for up to one week increments. The local permit can be issued by sending an email to burnpermit@hellsgatefire.org **PREFERRED METHOD. You may also receive one in person or over the phone. *If you leave a message, your permit does not begin until a staff member returns your call.
