LAND CLEARING BURN PERMIT

While St. Tammany Parish does not have a specific ordinance for burning large piles during land clearing, our fire district has a simple and free permitting process to ensure these burns are done safely and responsibly. ✅   Whether you're a private landowner or contractor, the process is the same: 1.Sign up through our Community Connect program. (Link below). 2. Once registered, select “Burn Permits” and click “Apply for Permit.” 3. We’ll review your application and likely schedule a site visit before approval. 💡 Important: The Land Clearing Burn Permit is different from the general parish burn regulations. Burning within the ordinance does not require a permit.
