If you plan to burn vegetative debris on your property, you will need to obtain a burn permit.  For piles 4 feet x 4 feet or less, you need a State burn permit which you can obtain online. If you are burning material in a pile GREATER in size than 4 feet x 4 feet, you MUST obtain a Burn Permit from El Dorado County Air Quality Management District (AQMD).
