• NO burning of oils, rubber, plastics, tires and chemically treated lumbers, tar paper, insulation, composite board, sheet rock, wiring, paint, hazardous or industrial solid waste

Fire Permits are required in New Haven Township for all fires over 3' diameter, which is considered a personal fire. Permits can be obtained from any of the supervisors or from the planning and zoning administrator see the home page for contact numbers.
Fire Permits are issued for 1 year March to March and cost $5 unless you come to the Annual Meeting Day, the Annual Election which is held the second Tuesday in March or one of the Town Board meetings. They will be issued free on these days.
Permits can be issued by any of the Town Board Supervisors or the Town Clerk.
