Online Burn Permit Application Instructions

Commercial or Agricultural Burn Permits are purchased thru Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD).

The Dixon Fire Protection District Board has amended the regulations for residential burn permits to only allow residential burning between November 1st and April 30th of each year. The change will only affect residential burning. Agricultural burn regulations are regulated by the Yolo Solano Air Quality Management District, and will not be effected.

Burn permits are valid for one year from the date of issue. Note that residential burning is prohibited from May 1st through October 31st each year.

ALL ILLEGAL BURNING WILL BE REPORTED TO YOLO-SOLANO AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.

Agricultural Burn: Agricultural burning includes any open burning of vegetative agricultural materials generated by agricultural operations on land used for commercial agricultural purposes.

Residential Burn: Residential yard burning is limited to vegetative yard material from maintenance of residential properties (churches, empty parcels, etc., do not qualify) not located in an incorporated city. Residential yard burning is permitted in the District only on YSAQMD approved burn days and only when authorized by The Dixon Fire Department which requires a Residential Burn Permit.
