The new Fire Management Bylaw No. 7 of 2015 is in place for issuing burning permits and to put fire ban's in effect as required.

If you are not the owner of the land and you are applying for a burning permit, you will be required to provide a written letter from the owner or owners stating permission is granted to you to allow for a control burn on their land. (See section 3 (c) of Bylaw No. 7 of 2015)

Do I need a burning permit and if so, for what type of burning, what is the cost of a burning permit?

A burning permit is required for all types of burning within the RM of Prince Albert. There are two types of burning permit, one is a seasonal permit for a burning barrel and/or barbeque pit.
