Burn Permits Now Live

Our online burn permit system is now live. Applications for controlled burns can be made here: Burn Permits - Starland County, AB. If you have any questions feel free to contact the office at 403-772-3793 or email us at [email protected].

FIRE ADVISORY IN PLACE

Due to dry conditions, Starland County has implemented a "Fire Advisory" for all of Starland County effective July 31, 2026.

This will remain in effect until conditions change or we see significant moisture.

Controlled burn permits will be issued on a case by case basis and may be revoked at any time.

This does not prevent the use of BBQs, fire pits and other recreational fires, however it is highly recommended to only use when conditions are suitable, precautions are taken and proper fire containment such as grates or screens are used in conjunction. Take care to confirm fires are properly extinguished and embers are thoroughly soaked.

Avian Flu in Starland County

Starland County has been notified of a confirmed case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (avian flu) within the region. Avian influenza is a viral disease that primarily affects domestic poultry and wild birds. The risk to human health is very low, but the disease can spread rapidly among bird populations and cause significant losses.
