Announcement:
Mower County Burning Permits effective January 1, 2021 are now issued from Environmental Services through an Online Permit Application. Please note: at this time payments can be made in-person at the Public Works Building (1105 8th Ave NE, Austin) from 7a - 4p (M-F), sent by mail to the same address, or paid with credit card over the phone (service charge will apply). Please call 507-437-7718 to arrange payment. An integrated payment system is in development, however, with the high demand for online services we were unable to have this available for 2021 release.
