Fulshear's burn ban ordinance automatically adopts Fort Bend County's outdoor burning prohibition inside city limits, with violations punishable by fines up to $2,000.
Under the City of Fulshear's burn ban ordinance, when the Fort Bend County Commissioners Court declares an outdoor burn ban for unincorporated areas, that prohibition takes effect simultaneously inside Fulshear's city limits. The Fulshear Fire Department enforces the rule and urges residents to avoid grills, welders, lawnmowers on dry grass, and any spark-producing equipment during active bans. The ban remains in effect until rescinded by the county judge in consultation with the Fort Bend County Fire Marshal. Even outside burn-ban periods, open burning of trash and yard waste is restricted and typically requires advance notification.
Violations may result in fines of up to $2,000 per offense, plus potential liability for fire suppression costs.
