Benton County, Arkansas: official burn ban sources

Benton County controlled-burn check

The Benton County Fire Marshal publishes the local burn status and a controlled-burn notification tool. The notification tool helps dispatchers know about a planned legal burn; it does not create permission to burn.

Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, Bella Vista, and other cities may apply city fire rules. Residents should confirm the fire department and jurisdiction serving the property.

Read the Fire Marshal's current status first. If burning is allowed and notification is required, use the official county form before starting.
