Outdoor burning rules in Lynn Haven, FL — also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance — set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
Lynn Haven Code Sec. 42-10 prohibits building any fire outside of a stove, grill, fireplace, or other place provided for that purpose. Burning yard waste or trash inside city limits is unlawful.
Sec. 42-10 (Chapter 42 - Parks and Recreation, applied citywide) makes it unlawful to build a fire outside a stove, grill, fireplace, or other purpose-built containment. The city provides weekly yard waste pickup precisely because burning is banned - all yard debris must go into city-furnished containers or piles under 2 cubic yards (Sec. 54-30) for collection. The Lynn Haven Fire Department FAQ confirms that all permitted fires (grills, fire pits, fireplaces) must be 'attended continuously' and 'completely extinguished' upon abandonment. Even when state law allows agricultural burning under FDACS authorizations, the city ordinance overrides for properties inside city limits.
Sec. 1-7 general penalty - fines up to $500 and/or 60 days in jail. Bay County may also impose a county-wide burn ban during drought conditions which carries additional state penalties under Ch. 590 F.S.
