Burn Regulations
Open burning is regulated and enforced by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Before burning, contact the Linn County Burn Line at 541-451-1904. The number will connect you with an automated message that is updated daily and informs you whether or not burning is allowed. In addition to your permit for agricultural burning, you must call the Oregon Department of Agriculture Grower Hotline at 503-986-4755 to confirm burn days.
Depending on the type of burning you intend to do, different regulations and/or permits may be required from either the Lebanon Fire District, Department of Agriculture, the DEQ, or the Oregon Department of Forestry. (See specific links below)

If you wish to burn during open burning season you must call the Linn County Coordinated Burn Message Line each day for that day's burn regulations.
