As of Thursday, Hall County residents can again burn yard debris with proper permits.

Residential burn permits allow residents to burn leaves and tree limbs no bigger than 3 inches in diameter. Call 770-536-2442 and follow the automated instructions to get a permit for the day.

A land clearing burn permit allows the clearing of land and trees and requires an inspection from the Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office. You also must have a pit and air curtain destructor before you can start burning.

To obtain this permit, call the Fire Marshal’s Office 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, giving 24 hours notice to ensure your inspection.

Agricultural burns are permitted for crops; clearing trees for a pasture requires a land clearing burn permit.
For more information, call the Fire Marshal’s Office at 770-531-6838.
