Lee County orders burn ban through April 15, 2026
The Lee County Board of Supervisors said in a notice posted by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office on Facebook that a burn ban is in effect in Lee County, Mississippi, until April 15, 2026.
The county posted a letter announcing the ban, but provided limited detail on specific restrictions in the Facebook message. Local governments typically issue burn bans to reduce the risk of wildfires and to protect public safety when conditions increase the chance that open flames could spread.
Residents and businesses in Lee County should consult the county’s official channels — including the Sheriff’s Office Facebook page and the Board of Supervisors — for the full text of the letter and any guidance on permitted or prohibited activities. Burn bans commonly affect outdoor fires such as brush, debris and agricultural burning, but the county’s notice will specify what is covered under this order.
The ban could affect homeowners, farmers and contractors who rely on open burning for disposal of yard waste or field clearing, and compliance helps reduce fire danger and protect property. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
