Outdoor burning rules in Jurupa Valley, 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.
Residential open burning of yard waste and debris is prohibited in Jurupa Valley under South Coast AQMD Rule 444 and the city's adopted fire code. Only limited agricultural and tumbleweed burns qualify for permits, and CAL FIRE suspended residential burn permits countywide effective May 1, 2026.
Jurupa Valley sits inside the South Coast Air Quality Management District, whose Rule 444 flatly prohibits open burning for residential burning and waste disposal. Lawful open burning, mainly agricultural and tumbleweed disposal, requires a written Permit to Burn from the local Riverside County Fire station plus a SCAQMD Burn Authorization Number requested by 4:00 p.m. the day before, with burning hours restricted to 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The city's fire code, 2025 California Fire Code section 105.2 as amended by Ordinance No. 2025-24, additionally requires a permit for open burning within wildland-urban interface areas. On April 29, 2026, the Riverside County Fire Chief announced a suspension of all residential outdoor burning effective May 1, 2026 due to wildfire danger.
Illegal open burning can draw SCAQMD civil penalties, fire code enforcement under City of Jurupa Valley ordinances, and cost recovery for any fire response under Health and Safety Code section 13009 and amended CFC section 108.7.
