Weed Abatement Burning Permit

 

It is unlawful for any person to ignite, cause to be ignited, permit to be ignited, allow, or maintain any open outdoor fire in a county without independent authority to permit fires except as provided in A.R.S. § 49-501 and A.A.C. 18-2-602. Burning for weed abatement purposes is permitted by State Law with a written permit by a public officer. Permit must be in possession while burning. Burning without a permit is a violation pursuant to A.R.S. § 49-502 and may be subject to citation and/or billing by public officials.

Persons burning weeds are responsible for control of burn and liable for any resulting damages. By issuing a permit under Arizona State Regulations, the City of Page and its agents assume no liability for the actions of the applicant or others. Any public official has the authority to require the extinguishing of any permitted burn which is not being conducted properly or which becomes a safety or health hazard. If any unlawful burn, without lawful authority, were to set or cause to set other property or wildland on fire, the person is subject to criminal penalties provided under A.R.S. § 13-1706. Open burning violations are required to be reported to the Department of Environmental Health Services.

 

Prior to burning AND when the fire is out, notify Page Dispatch (option 1) at (928) 645-2463.

Consult with Fire Department if water supply or other conditions are a problem.
Permits may be rescheduled if conditions prohibit burning on the scheduled date — call (928) 645-2463.
Special burn permits are available from the County or State for unusual circumstances, please check with the Fire Department for information.
