The Kerr County Judge may cite the Texas Disaster Act of 1975 or HB2620 on outdoor burning as a basis for a burn ban in the unincorporated areas of the county. Kerr County specifically cites Local Government Code 352.081 (Regulation of Outdoor Burning) as the basis for its burn ban.
County commissioners are individually responsible for determining the status of burning in their precincts.
Provisions of Texas Penal Code 28.04 (Reckless Damage or Destruction) allow for a possible fine of up to $10,000 and/or jail confinement for those who commit violations. Air quality regulations from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality specify the statewide rules for outdoor burning.
NOTE: If planning an open-air, open-flame fire in a precinct without a ban, then notify your nearest volunteer fire department and the Kerr County Sheriff's Office of your intent to burn before igniting. Please burn safely!
