Open Burning Information

Laketon Township does not regulate burning as there is State law to do so.

Open Burning often becomes a “hot topic” and with fall leaf clean up in full swing – now is a good time to remind everyone of some very important regulations from State of Michigan:

Burning of leaves &/or grass is not permitted in Laketon Township, per State Law, as the township population is OVER 7500.

If you see a burning emergency – please call 911 – when the issue or emergency is occurring! Don’t wait until after the burning is over!

Thank you for your cooperation!
