Bexar County, Texas: official burn ban sources

Bexar County fire-safety contacts

The Bexar County Fire Marshal publishes burn information, outdoor-burning resources, and current fire-safety contacts. Its county role is most relevant outside San Antonio and other incorporated cities.

A San Antonio mailing address does not always prove whether the property is inside city limits. Confirm the jurisdiction and the fire department that serves the property before relying on a county or city rule.

Use the Fire Marshal page to review the latest county notice and contact the serving fire authority if the address or proposed activity is unclear.
