Outdoor burning is illegal inside Conroe city limits. Conroe Code Ch. 30 prohibits burning rubbish, trash, leaves, weeds, lumber, or other combustibles. Recreational backyard fires and open burn piles are not permitted.
The Conroe Fire Marshal enforces a near-total ban on outdoor burning under Chapter 30 of the City Code. The ordinance prohibits burning any rubbish, trash, waste, leaves, weeds, grass, lumber, or other combustible materials within city limits, with no recreational burn permit available. The only exception is a one-time land-clearing burn for new construction, which requires an approved site plan, a TCEQ authorization under 30 TAC Ch. 111, a submitted open-burning application to the Fire Marshal, on-site fire-extinguishing equipment, and constant adult supervision. Outside city limits in unincorporated Montgomery County, Tex. Health & Safety Code Ch. 342 and TCEQ rules govern, and county burn bans frequently apply.
Citations under Ch. 30 carry fines up to $2,000 per offense. Conroe Fire will extinguish unauthorized fires; reignition can result in additional charges.
