MANATEE COUNTY — Manatee County officials have announced that the county-wide burn ban, issued due to dry weather conditions, will expire at 11:59 PM on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
The decision comes after recent rainfall and improved humidity levels have helped reduce the risk of wildfires in the region.
“We’ve seen a positive shift in weather patterns, and conditions are trending in the right direction,” said Manatee County Commission Chair George Kruse. “If these improvements hold, the ban will expire as scheduled, and residents will be allowed to resume limited outdoor burning activities.”
Until the ban officially expires, all current restrictions remain in place.
Note: The open burning of yard waste and garbage remains prohibited year-round under existing county ordinances.
County officials will continue monitoring conditions and will notify the public immediately if an extension becomes necessary.
