Roy City Fire will no longer be issuing Open Burn Permits, as the state of Utah rules have changed. The Division of Air Quality (DAQ) has completed a new program for the new open burn permit application.The rules now require any person wanting to open burn during the spring and fall open burn windows to complete an open burn permit application on the Division of Air Quality website prior to burning or call the DAQ at 801-536-4000.
Rules
- Materials that may be burned are of natural growth only, such as leaves, dry grass and tree trimmings.

- The permit is good for three days if the clearing index is greater than 500.
