Outdoor burning rules in Euless, TX β also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance β set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
Outdoor burning of trash, leaves, brush, and debris is prohibited in Euless under TCEQ rule 30 TAC 111.209 since Tarrant County is ozone non-attainment. Only cooking fires and permitted training burns are allowed.
Tarrant County is designated a non-attainment area for ground-level ozone under the federal Clean Air Act, which triggers the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) outdoor-burning prohibition in 30 Texas Administrative Code 111.209. Inside Euless, this means residents and businesses may not burn leaves, grass clippings, brush, yard waste, household trash, construction debris, or demolition material anywhere on their property at any time of year. The only exceptions recognized by the city and TCEQ are small recreational or ceremonial fires used for cooking or warming that meet fire-pit size limits, fires set by or supervised by the Fire Department for training or hazard reduction, and on-site fires for cooking food for human consumption. Land-clearing operations do not qualify. The Euless Fire Marshal enforces these rules in parallel with TCEQ. Violations can carry administrative penalties from TCEQ up to 25,000 dollars per day per violation and a municipal citation in Euless Municipal Court as a Class C misdemeanor. During declared burn bans by the Tarrant County Fire Marshal, even otherwise lawful recreational fires may be suspended. Residents must use the city yard-waste collection and brush pickup services instead of burning.
