Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of a burn permit?

The most common burn permit is the residential burn permit. It allow the user to have multiple types of fire on one property for $20/year. This type of permit includes campfires, burn barrels, residential brush fires and agricultural fires. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to ensure they are in compliance with By-law 2020-35.

If you want to have an open-air fire (bonfire, campfire, brush fire, etc.) then you need an approved permit. If you are using an appliance such as a propane or natural gas BBQ or fire table then a permit is not required.
