Henrico County, Virginia

Burn permit application processing time

Henrico County asks applicants to allow 10 business days for processing an open-burning permit application. This is a published planning allowance, not a guaranteed approval date or permission to burn.

Business days, not a guaranteed decision

The county's application asks applicants to allow 10 business days for processing. It does not guarantee approval in that time. This page does not submit an application, calculate a legal burn date or determine whether burning is allowed today.

Site conditions, permit terms, current county notices and state restrictions still apply. Confirm them with the Fire Marshal before any burning.
