Burn Permits Required October 15 Through May 15

Residents planning to burn leaves, brush, or other natural vegetation are reminded that burn permits are required beginning October 15 and continuing through May 15.

Burn permits are issued free of charge by the Tennessee Division of Forestry and are available online at www.BurnSafeTN.org or through the MyTN mobile app.

Residents without internet access may request a permit by calling 877-350-BURN (2876) Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:30 PM Eastern.

Permits are issued only when conditions are considered safe for outdoor burning. Individuals planning to burn should obtain a permit before conducting any outdoor burning activities.

Residents who live within city limits should contact their municipality before burning, as local regulations and permitting requirements may differ.
