Almost all agricultural burning requires a permit, and can only be done outside of a fire/burn ban.  Field and Spot Burning Permits are can be purchased at the District Office. Applications can be filled out at the office or printed off from the links below. Burn Permit hours are 8:30-4:30 Monday-Friday. Call the office and make an appointment ahead of time. Also, remember to bring your field maps of desired burn locations.

Print out, complete, and sign your application (see links below for what you need). We CANNOT process a burn permit without this application first. 

Create a map of where the burn will be. It is easy to print off the area on google maps and then circle with a pen/highlighter the burn zone. 

Contact PCD either via email or phone.  You have the option to email your completed application, or drop it off at our office at a agreed upon time.

Pay for your permit either by check (when you drop off the application) or over the phone.  We CANNOT approve your permit until we receive payment. If you mail the check expect a delay on when your permit is approved.

PCD will process your permit online and email or mail your completed permit.  Once you have received this you are ready to burn.
