Can I burn vegetative waste or old building materials on my property?

No, laws in the State of Texas prohibit all outdoor burning within the city limits of any city. The City of Orange does have a burn permit available to contractors or individuals that are clearing property for construction. For details to obtain such a permit, please contact 409-883-1050 for assistance. There is no charge for this permit, but it must be in the hand of the party performing the prescribed burn at the time of the actual burn.
