About countyburnban.com

countyburnban.com is a free, public reference tool for checking county-level burn ban status across the United States. The goal is to provide a single, easy-to-use lookup for people who need to know whether outdoor burning is currently restricted in their area before they burn.

Data Sources

Burn ban data is sourced from official state forestry departments, state fire agencies, and county government sources. The specific agency varies by state. For Texas, data comes from the Texas A&M Forest Service. For other states, data is sourced from the relevant state authority — such as a state forestry commission, department of agriculture, or department of natural resources.

We do not create or interpret burn ban data. We publish what official agencies report.

Coverage

Texas counties are currently available. Additional states are being added on an ongoing basis. Each state’s data source and update frequency will be documented as new states come online.

Accuracy and Verification

Burn ban status can change quickly based on weather conditions, drought levels, and local fire activity. While we work to keep data current, conditions may change between updates. Always verify burn ban status with your county officials or local fire marshal before outdoor burning.

This site does not provide legal advice. Burn regulations vary by state and county. Contact your local fire authority for guidance on what is and is not permitted in your area.
