Fall weather brings chilly nights and cozy conversations around a fire. If you are taking that cozy experience to the backyard with a fire pit or outdoor fireplace, its important to follow the fire pit safety rules in the city of York code.

If you are building a fire pit or outdoor fireplace, use the Fire Pit form to apply for a permit from the York Fire Department.  A Permit is not required for portable fire pits or chimineas that are commercially designed and intended to confine and control outdoor wood fires.

When using any outdoor fire pit or device, note the following safety rules in the City of York Code: City Ordinance: Section 18-6 – Outdoor Fireplaces & Firepits

DO:

• Make sure that the fire pit is more than 10 feet from all combustible surfaces.
• Use only untreated wood in an amount to keep flames within the fire pit.
• Check regularly for cracks or damage.

DON’T

• Place the pit under overhangs or balconies
• Use the fire pit during high wind or dry conditions
• Use the fire pit above the first floor or on combustible decks

On August 21, the City Council approved a new Mobile Vendor policy. Vendors operating food trucks or any mobile vendor operation within the city must comply with the new city policy. The policy requires mobile vendors/food trucks to apply for a mobile vendor permit. The permit requires mobile vendors to provide evidence of liability insurance and Nebraska sales tax registration. Food truck vendors will also provide proof of their Temporary Food Establishment Permit or Mobile Unit Permit from the state of Nebraska. The new form is available on the city website in the Forms section. Forms, required documents, and payments can be emailed or provided in person at the York Police Department (315 N. Grant). Payments can be made over the phone or in person.

If you will be operating within a city park, use Parks and Recreation form  

If you're organizing a food truck event, like a food truck fundraiser, use the Special Event form.
