The annual ban on outdoor burning in 54 Georgia counties (mostly in the northern part of the state) was recently lifted. Pending any local ordinances, outdoor burning of yard debris, leaves, and natural, hand-piled vegetation is again allowed until next summer (May 1, 2025). It is important to know that there also may be local ordinances issued by local county and/or city governments that have other requirements. Citizens must contact their local fire departments, code enforcement agencies, or emergency management officials to determine if other fire laws exist for their location. Click here to Learn More
