Burn Permits
Lewis and Clark County Burn Season runs from January 1 to December 31 and is enacted by resolution during the first Commission meeting of each calendar year.
Burn permits may be purchased or renewed each year beginning January 1.
You can purchase or renew a burn permit online, by mail or by calling 406-447-8293.
In Lewis and Clark County, open burning is legally allowed with a permit on private property outside of Helena City Limits.
Inside Helena City limits, permits are only issued for purposes of fuel mitigation by official agencies. Residents need to dispose of fire fuel through means other than burning. For additional information, please visit the Helena Fire Department website.
Open burning is restricted in East Helena. Find more information specific to East Helena HERE.
