Outdoor burning rules in Florin, CA — also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance — set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
Open agricultural and yard-waste burning in unincorporated Sacramento County requires a Sacramento Metro AQMD permit and is only allowed on declared 'permissive burn days.' Residential yard-waste burning is generally prohibited in the urban Florin area.
SMAQMD permits dictate where, when, and what may be burned. Most of urban Sacramento County, including Florin, falls within zones where yard-waste open burning is banned year-round; rural agricultural burning may be permitted on declared burn days. CAL FIRE issues separate burn permits for SRA parcels for hazardous fuel reduction. All open burning must follow Cal Fire's spark-arrester, clearance, and attended-fire requirements.
Burning without a permit or on a no-burn day is a SMAQMD violation; fines escalate sharply on declared Spare-the-Air days. Fires causing escape damage may carry criminal charges under Penal Code §452.
