Florida Yard Debris Burning Restrictions
Yard debris restrictions can exist even when a county does not have a temporary burn ban. Always verify with your local fire department before burning leaves, limbs, or other yard waste.
Counties Listed as Always Prohibited
Permanent Restriction vs. Temporary Burn Ban
A permanent yard debris restriction is a standing county rule. A temporary burn ban is usually enacted during dry conditions and may be lifted later.
Agricultural burning, land clearing, and large debris piles may follow separate authorization rules. Check FDACS guidance and local fire officials before burning.
What to Do With Yard Waste
- Use county yard waste pickup where available.
- Consider composting leaves and small plant material.
- Use a county-approved disposal site for larger limbs and storm debris.
- Contact your local fire department before any outdoor burning.
