Outdoor burning rules in Marana, AZ — 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 regulated by Pima County PDEQ and state law (ARS §49-501). Within Marana city limits, recreational fires for warmth/cooking allowed; burning vegetation or rubbish generally prohibited. PDEQ permits required for weed abatement burns.
Marana prohibits open burning of household trash, yard waste, construction debris, and other materials in within city limits. Agricultural and land-clearing burns may be permitted through the fire department or state forestry division with advance notice. When allowed, fires must be attended at all times, located at least 50 feet from structures, and extinguished before sunset. During May-September, the county may declare total burn bans that prohibit all outdoor burning including agricultural burns. Air quality regulations may impose additional restrictions. Residents should use green waste collection or composting instead of burning.
Illegal burning carries fines of $250–$1,000. Burning during a declared ban is a misdemeanor with fines up to $2,000 and potential criminal liability for any damage caused.
