Pinellas Park prohibits open burning of yard waste and trash. Only recreational, cooking, and permitted public ceremonial fires are allowed, with ceremonial burns requiring a permit through the Pinellas Park online portal under Resolution 23-04.
Pinellas Park Fire Department enforces outdoor burning under the Florida Fire Prevention Code and Pinellas County Chapter 58, Article V. Open burning of household trash, construction debris, land-clearing waste, or yard refuse is not permitted within city limits because of dense development and air quality. Permitted categories are recreational fires, residential cooking fires, and public ceremonial fires. A burn permit is required for ceremonial use, issued under Pinellas Park Resolution 23-04 through the Online Permitting Portal. The Florida Forest Service may also require an authorization for any agricultural or land-clearing burn. Fire officials can revoke a permit and order extinguishment when wind, drought, or smoke conditions create hazards.
Unauthorized open burning can result in fire department orders to extinguish, code citations, and Florida Forest Service penalties under FS Chapter 590.
