How do I obtain a burn permit?

Fire pits or recreational fires at your residence can be done without a permit as long as the size of your fire bed does not exceed three (3) ft. x three (3) ft.


If your fire is larger than a three (3) ft. x three (3) ft. and you live within the corporate city limits of Goodlettsville you can obtain a permit at Goodlettsville City Hall for $5.00. City Hall is located at 105 S. Main Street, hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. You may call City Hall with any burn permit questions at 615-851-2200.


If your location falls within the Metro Nashville boundaries, check with the Nashville Fire Marshall's Office at 615-862-5230.
