Residential land clearing burning consists of fires associated with clearing of natural vegetative debris from less than one acre of forested land on a five acre or larger parcel in non-commercial ownership. Burning is not allowed inside Urban Growth Areas, inside Spokane Clean Air’s No Burn Area, or where burning would likely cause smoke impacts to neighbors. After December 31, 2010, residential land clearing burning will be prohibited in Spokane County. Until this date, residential land clearing burning may be allowed with a written permit.
