SANTA ROSA COUNTY IS NOT CURRENTLY UNDER A BURN BAN
OUTDOOR BURNING INFORMATION
It is illegal to burn household garbage (including paper products), treated lumber, rubber materials, tires, pesticides, paint, and aerosol containers.
At this time, dry (not green) vegetative debris such as grass clippings, pine straw, leaves, tree limbs and shrub trimmings can be legally burned between 8 a.m. and one hour before sunset if it is in a pile not larger than 8 ft diameter and located on the property where the debris originated and is:
not closer than 25 ft to a wooded area or the owner’s residence;
not closer than 50 ft from a paved public road; and
not closer than 150 ft from other occupied buildings.
Burning material in a pile larger than 8 ft. diameter, or burning any area of land, requires an authorization from the Florida Division of Forestry (850 957-6145), and is subject to additional restrictions.
