Burn Ban Information

Travis County burn ban statuses are critical for public safety.
Even when the burn ban is OFF, all residents are required to obtain a permit before conducting any outdoor burning.

Burn Permit

We no longer process paper burn permits at our Administrative Office. All permits are now managed exclusively through our digital portal.

To obtain your permit, visit our new portal and select the “Operational permits” section.

Visit PFD Permits Portal

Once your permit is issued, you must call or text 512-580-9127 to activate it before you begin burning.
