To do any controlled burning you must first obtain a burn permit.
Do this by calling the City of Lapeer Fire department at

810-664-0833
or sign up online for a burn permit
(please note that you will be leaving the Lapeer Township website and going to the City of Lapeer's website)
On the left navigation bar, click on TOWNSHIP BURN PERMIT PROGRAM, you will navigate to a form to fill out and your permit is good through Sunday!

Not doing so will result in a fire run charge.

The Township of Lapeer contracts from Lapeer City for our Fire Protection.
Effective December 1, 2005 fire run costs will increase.
Please see the chart below.
Make sure that you obtain a rider on your homeowners insurance to cover this amount as you are responsible to reimburse the township for this fee if a service is provided.
