How do I obtain a burning permit?

Owatonna Fire Department issues permits for burning within the city limits. You do not need a permit for a recreational fire. Call us at 507-444-2454.

If you are located outside the city limits, visit the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources website to apply for a burning permit.
