No such thing here! Burn ban means no burning!! If you are going to burn when it's allowed, you better make sure you are following the rules!

I can't even see any neighbors from my place, so I wouldn't know if someone was burning "illegally". Occasionally some smoke will drift up this way from the burning of logging slash but it quickly blows out.
In my state a burn permit is simple. I just go to the forestry service website. They have a Latitude/longtitude locator map and an 800 number. I just get my lat,long numbers and call them up. I give them my location and they verbally give me a permit number valid only for that day. Or, deny it, as the case may be.
I burn my pastures every few years. It's a very beneficial thing to do. Helps control weeds and insects.
Here's a field I burned last year in Feb. Did a controlled burn, took an hour to prep and another hour to do the burn.
This is what it looked like the next day....

Beneficial and responsible burning!! These city idiots know nothing of the sort!
They got a little payback for not using their brains yesterday. There was a nice stock tank (pond) that these people filled in last year with red clay. It had a good packed lime bottom and held water good. The workers drove a truck with a large dump bed trailer full of brush and trees they took down across what used to be the stock tank. The truck is stuck!!

I agree, but no permits in a burn ban, but I had tree tops rotting in a field for four years.
Must be going to sale the land, fifty acres is plenty of room for a wood dump on the back forty.
They want to sell, but are asking over 2 million for the place! WILL NOT HAPPEN!! There's a tiny cabin up front they remodeled, but no house. They tore down the barns and pens! They did build a big metal building up front, but with no plumbing! It's built on top of an big old stock tank that the previous owners filled in! The building has sunk considerably and floods with even a little rain!!
Doesn't sound like a very savvy person/property owner. Could have gone the legal route and saved a lot of money that could have gone into the property.

Remember, these people are likely high crime. Cartel is what @Pearl has referred to them as, foreigners, they have no savvy in what to do with the land. It is likely a hiding place for something illegal.

Is a burn permit required this time of year? Burn permits aren't required around here but we do have burn bans for the summer. We usually stop burning long before the burn ban is called.
They no longer want the property and don't care about anyone around!

The tax appraisal is under a half million!! The weird part is, the people who owned it before bought it in 1984 ( or '86) for under $15,000, just bare land!!
Here's a little fixer upper your neighbors might prefer. It's about a hour away from us. I'd buy it, but you know being retired and on a fixed income and all...
