| Open Burn Permitting |
Burn permits are issued by Resource
Protection: a burn permit may be issued for land clearing. The applicant must meet certain criteria to be
eligible for each type of permit.
- Burning of yard debris, fallen branches,
trimmed branches, leaves or debris from routine property
cleanup is prohibited in Sarasota County. This
material is to be recycled or mulched.
- Cooking with an open fire is
permitted as
long as yard debris is not used and the fire is contained.
- Ceremonial burning with an open fire is
permitted as long as the ceremonial fire is conducted by a
recognized organization (for example, scouts, schools, etc.).
- A burn permit may be issued for
agricultural burning for those operations conducting
agricultural pile burns or controlled range burns. In order
to be eligible for agricultural burning, properties must be
classified by the Sarasota County Property Appraiser as
“agricultural land use.”
