Orange County, Florida: official burn ban sources

Orange County open-burning rules

Orange County publishes a dedicated open-burning page explaining its local ordinance, the role of the Florida Forest Service, and the conditions that can trigger county restrictions.

Orlando and other municipalities may have separate fire codes. The county page explains county requirements, but residents inside city limits should also check with the city fire department.

Read the county open-burning page and confirm any required authorization with the Florida Forest Service before preparing a burn.
