Burn Permits
Open Burn Permits are issued by the Yellowstone County Emergency and General Services Office in the Yellowstone County Courthouse. The locations of all approved burns in Yellowstone County are tracked so emergency services can more easily determine whether a smoke plume or fire is an emergency such as a wildfire or structural fire. Please thoroughly read through the warnings and frequently asked questions on the county’s website.
