Hernando County Government has issued a burn ban effective April 14, 2026. The ban applies to all unincorporated areas of Hernando County and prohibits outdoor burning, including yard waste and debris burning.
The decision to implement the burn ban was made due to dry conditions and high fire danger in the area. Hernando County officials urge residents to exercise caution when conducting outdoor activities that may spark fires. The burn ban will remain in effect until further notice and may be lifted when conditions improve.
Residents with questions or concerns about the burn ban can contact the Hernando County Government office for more information.
