Permits required for open burning
City residents are required to obtain burn permits from local fire departments before burning on their property.
Mesa County will issue permits for burning in areas outside of the city limits. Burning is allowed on dry weeds, garden waste, irrigation ditches, and tree or shrub trimming less than an inch in diameter.
The Grand Junction Fire Department encourages residents to find alternates to open burning, such as composting. Contact Mesa County’s composting facility at 263-9319.
