Outdoor Burn Permit (in-city only)

Burn days for the City of Lucas correspond with Collin County burn days. Please call Burn Day Information number (972) 548-4799 first to make sure that it is an authorized burn day.

City of Lucas residents begin the process with a call to Plano Dispatch (972) 941-7900, state your name, location, and intended burn time.

There are a few guidelines that should be followed:
Clear the area, stay a safe distance from exposure (a 300 ft. minimum from any structure is required) and provide a means of extinguishing the material if required.
Burn piles should be no larger than 5 ft. high and 10 ft. across with a firebreak around the pile.
Maintain a watch over the material until it is completely extinguished.
Natural wood products only (trees, bushes, and brush). No treated wood, plastics, rubber or similar materials are to be burned.
Except for recreational fires (very small back yard bonfires) all burns are to be completed before dark.
Conditions under which no burns are allowed are dry periods while under burn ban, winds over 18 mph, and ozone alert days that follow the Collin County burn ban guidelines.
The landowner is responsible for any and all damages or personal injury caused by intentional burning.

Out-of-City Residents must contact the Collin County Fire Marshall's office to obtain a permit!

The countywide outdoor burn ban has been lifted.
