Steps
Determine if the planned burn requires a GFC permit (hand-piled natural vegetation/yard debris no longer requires one; land-clearing pile/debris burns generally still do)
Register as a certified burner at the GFC's online permit portal (georgiafc-burnpermit.firesponse.com)
Submit the permit request no earlier than 48 hours and no later than noon the day before the planned burn
Review GFC-provided weather and smoke-modeling maps in the system before finalizing the burn plan
Wait for GFC to grant or deny the permit, typically within 24 hours of the request
Reconfirm conditions day-of, since GFC can revoke or restrict burning based on updated fire weather
Known gotchas
Non-certified burners must still go through the standard (non-online) GFC permit process, not the certified-burner portal
Do not confuse the official GFC system with third-party commercial sites (e.g. georgiaburnpermits.com), which are not the state's system of record
Local air-quality nonattainment areas (e.g., metro Atlanta) may layer additional EPD open-burning restrictions on top of the GFC permit
