Outdoor burning rules in Oxnard, 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 is prohibited in Oxnard under the California Fire Code and Ventura County Air Pollution Control District regulations. Recreational fires in approved containers may be allowed under certain conditions.
Oxnard adopts the California Fire Code (Chapter 14, Article XV of city code), which restricts open burning. The Ventura County Air Pollution Control District further regulates outdoor burning with strict no-burn days. Agricultural burning requires a permit from the air district. Recreational campfires in approved fire pits may be permitted on private property when air quality allows, but must be attended at all times.
Illegal burning may result in fire department response, citations, and fines. Air quality violations carry separate penalties from the Ventura County APCD.
