Open Burning Permit
Before you burn, you will need a permit. To get a permit, you will need to contact the Grand County Fire Warden, Bruce Jenkins, at (435) 220-0179.
If a permit has not been signed for your burn, the fire will be extinguished and a citation may be issued.
You will be required to obtain a permit for the day that you will be burning. Burning may only occur during the open burn windows: March 1st - May 30th and November 1st - November 30th. These permits are valid for one day at a time and do not allow for burning inside City Limits.
The following links will give statewide information regarding open burning. Note that if the Clearing Index is below 500, you will not be permitted to burn.
Utah Department of Natural Resources (DNR, for proper procedure)
Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ, for Clearing Index and Permit Criteria)
GRAMA Records Request
In order to obtain a copy of a report, you must be the subject of the record or the legal guardian of a minor listed on the record. Generally, copies of police reports are not able to be released until after they have been adjudicated, or processed through court. If you are the defendant on a case that is not adjudicated and are currently not represented by an attorney in the matter, you can obtain a copy through Discovery at the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. If you are represented by an attorney, your attorney will need to request the report.Process
The law provides 10 working days for us to process your request (5 days if you can show that you must have an expedited response).
