Vevay Township burn permits and activation

For brush burning in Vevay Township, obtain the free permit through the City of Mason Customer Service Desk at 517-676-9155 or at 201 W. Ash Street. You must call to activate the permit before burning and call every time you burn so the active permit can be reported to the 911 Center. Brush burning is daylight-only, is prohibited at wind speeds above 10 mph 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.
