Backyard recreational fires in Jupiter are limited to contained fire pits, chimineas, or portable fireplaces burning only clean wood or manufactured logs. Fires must be 25 feet from structures and property lines and fully extinguished when unattended.
Same standard as fire-pit-rules: Palm Beach County Fire Rescue applies NFPA 1 Section 10.11. Recreational fires differ from open burning because they are small (under 3 feet), contained, and for warmth or cooking only. Burning of leaves, palm fronds, construction debris, or household trash is prohibited even in a pit. HOAs in planned communities (Abacoa, Jupiter Farms sub-HOAs) often impose stricter rules.
Uncontained or oversized fire: warning then 250 dollar civil citation. Burning prohibited materials: 500 dollar fine plus possible state violation.
