Fire Pit Permits

A permit is required for outdoor fire pits within City limits. The permit fee of $25 covers the cost of the inspection to ensure your fire pit follows the local rules. These include:

• fire pits must be located at least 3 meters away from property lines and 6 meters away from dwellings;
• they cannot be located under a power line or next to combustible materials;
• they must be constructed of sturdy materials, permanently installed on a base which prevents plant growth, and fitted with a screen or cover to prevent flyaway debris.

Further information, including permit application forms, is available here
