Fire pit rules in Jupiter, FL — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Jupiter allows residential fire pits with recreational fires limited to 3 feet diameter and 2 feet in height. Fires must be at least 25 feet from any structure, property line, or combustible material. Only clean, seasoned wood permitted as fuel; burning trash, yard waste, or construction debris is prohibited.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue enforces NFPA 1 Fire Code as adopted by Jupiter. Portable outdoor fireplaces and gas-fueled fire pits may be used closer to structures (15 feet) if UL-listed. A garden hose or extinguisher must be on hand. Fires must be attended at all times and fully extinguished before leaving unattended. During declared burn bans (common in dry season, Feb-May), all open flames outdoors are prohibited. Lightning strike risk makes Palm Beach County especially cautious.
Unattended fire or improper distance: warning and order to extinguish. Repeat violations: fines up to 500 dollars per Palm Beach County Fire Code. Fires during burn ban: criminal citation possible.
