The Township of Essa has a new burning by-law that allows for recreational/camp fire, open air burning and open air burning with an inspection.

No person(s) or owners(s) of land shall set a fire or permit the setting of a fire without first having obtained an authorized burn permit. Burning must be in accordance with the Open Air Burning By-law 2015-92 or subsequent by law. A permit shall not be issued in a settlement area with clearance of less than 15 feet/5 metre from any structure.

Permit is valid until the end of each calendar year at a cost of $40.00. Burn Permits (except for those that require an inspection) can be obtained on-line by going to on-line registration. Permits can also be obtained from the Township Administration Centre, upstairs, during regular business hours.
