Aurelius Township burn permits and activation

For brush burning in Aurelius Township, renew the free permit annually through the City of Mason Customer Service Desk at 517-676-9155. After renewal, call to activate the same permit every time you burn; each activation is valid for four days and is reported to the 911 Center. Brush burning is daylight-only, is prohibited above 10 mph winds or in extremely dry conditions, and is not permitted within 1,400 feet outside the City limits. A qualifying recreational fire outside the City limits does not require a permit; a compliant trash barrel also does not require one, but strict material and safety limits apply.
