Outdoor burning rules in Coconino County, 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 in Coconino County requires a permit from Arizona DFFM or the local fire district and must meet ADEQ air rules. Permits are routinely suspended during the long summer fire season; slash and pile burning happens in the wetter, cooler months.
Outdoor burning in unincorporated Coconino County — yard slash, ditch, or pile burning — requires an active burn permit from Arizona's Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM) or the local fire district, and must follow Arizona ADEQ open-burning and smoke-management rules. Permits are commonly suspended once fire restrictions take hold, so most legal pile burning of thinning slash happens from late fall through spring, when snow and moisture lower the danger. Burning trash, plastics, and construction debris is prohibited year-round. Always call the daily burn line to confirm the day is open before igniting.
Burning without a valid permit, on a no-burn day, or during fire restrictions brings DFFM and county penalties. If the fire escapes into forest fuels, felony charges and liability for suppression costs follow.
