When Can I Burn?
Open burning is allowed by Gallatin County Burn Permit between March 1st and November 30 of each year. During this time frame burn permits are required. When conditions are not favorable for burning, the fire chief of your fire protection agency may shut down open burning to reduce the potential for a fire to get out of control. In extreme conditions a burn ban may be implemented restricting all open flames. Gallatin County does not utilize the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Fire Restriction system. Instead, either burning is open or closed (we find this easier to understand) and in very rare situations the County Commission may institute a complete burn ban.

Gallatin County utilizes a burn permit system to indicate when it is not safe to burn and minimize false alarms by knowing where people are conducting controlled burns. Burn permits can be obtained online at www.gallatinburnpermits.com
