Open Burning

Effective December 1, 2021, the burn permit requirement has been eliminated. Tyrone Township residents no longer need to have a burn permit to burn. However, residents MUST still comply with the Open Burning Ordinance and the Zoning Map here.

It's important to understand the burn ordinance. Not adhering to township regulations may result in fire run service charge of $1,481.00 and/or a fine.

Burning is NOT permitted if wind speeds exceed 9 mph or dry conditions exist.
