<b>New Online Burning Permit System<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In an effort to streamline the burning permit process for residents, the Town of Easton has moved from our in-person, paper permits, to an online application system. The improvements to the system for a burning permit, as well as requests
to burn each day, we believe will greatly benefit our residents. Now permits can be applied for from a home computer, a laptop or even your smart phone. The steps to apply for a 2019 burning permit are very easy and the can be done in minutes
<a href="https://eastonfire.com/open-burning-permits-2/">Click Here</a> or apply directly at
<a href="https://permiteyes.net/easton/burning/homepage.asp">https://permiteyes.net/easton/burning/homepage.asp</a> all you need to submit the application is your name, street address and phone number.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto">The new online burning permit system will be in use for the upcoming 2019 burning permit season (which commences on January 15<sup>th</sup>).
<i>This will be the only method for applying for a burning permit moving forward, including agricultural permits</i>. If you have any questions or need assistance, call 508-230-0750. A kiosk will be available at 413 Bay Rd. (Fire Station #3) during normal business
hours, for those without access to a computer. We appreciate your patience during our transition to the new online service, and we hope that you find the process more efficient and user-friendly than methods used in the past. The Burning Season runs from January.

the Easton Board of Assessors inspects some of its property every year. In addition to meeting state requirements, the objective of this project is to assure the accuracy of the Town’s assessing data. The inspector, Renee Holloran, will have a letter of identification
on town letterhead and will be driving a Volkswagen Jetta. For further information, contact the Assessors’ Office at 508-230-0520.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
