Questions about burning in Santa Fe County
Is there a burn ban in Santa Fe County today?
Partial. New Mexico Forestry Division (EMNRD) and the Southwest Coordination Group lists Santa Fe County as “Stage 1 on tribal land in part of the county”, in effect since Jul 24, 2026. Status checked Oct 13, 11:28 AM MDT.
Can I burn trash or brush in Santa Fe County?
No burn ban is reported, but you still have to follow state and local outdoor-burning rules (permits, burn hours, what may be burned), stay with the fire and keep water nearby. Cities and fire districts can ban burning on their own.
Who issues burn bans in New Mexico?
County commissions set fire restrictions on private and county land and the Forestry Division maps them; national forests, BLM land and tribes set their own Stage 1 or Stage 2 restrictions, which we show as partial for the county. Cities can have stricter rules.
Where does this information come from?
From New Mexico Forestry Division (EMNRD) and the Southwest Coordination Group's official county burn-ban map, refreshed every hour on Burn Ban Today, plus Red Flag Warnings from the National Weather Service. Confirm with the Santa Fe County offices or your local fire department before burning.
