Outdoor burning rules in Lompoc, 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 burning in Lompoc is regulated by the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District and the fire department; residential yard-waste burning is generally prohibited and barred on no-burn days. Agricultural burns require a permit.
Lompoc's open-burning rules are written by the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District and enforced alongside the fire department. Residential yard-waste burning is generally prohibited, and no-burn days shut down burning entirely when air conditions require. Agricultural operations retain a burn option, but only with a permit. For residents, disposal means green-waste collection rather than smoke — and the air district treats illegal burns as air-quality violations, not just fire-safety ones.
