Brazoria County –  Commissioners Court voted on November 24, 2020 to implement a 90-day county burn ban due to dry conditions in areas of the county. The ban will go into effect, November 25th. The Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) for Brazoria County on November 24  is 611 (countywide average) and continues to rise due to the lack of substantial rainfall. Once the KBDI reaches within the 600-800 range, drought conditions are considered severe with an increasing concern for wildfires.
The burn ban prohibits outdoor burning . Violations of the burn ban order include: burning any combustible material outside of an enclosure, serving to contain all flames and/or sparks, or order such burning by others. Contained BBQ pits and  grills are permitted, but open flame pits are not permitted. Any violation of this Order is a Class C Misdemeanor, punishable by a fine.
If weather conditions improve for safe outdoor burning before the 90-days, with a KBDI number below 450 for five consecutive days, County Judge Matt Sebesta may authorize the burn ban lifted.
