Jones County implements burn ban with agricultural exemption
Summary
On July 27, 2026, Jones County Commissioners implemented a countywide burn ban with an agricultural exemption by motion of Commissioner Joel Spraberry; the motion passed and is recorded in Exhibit D.
Jones County Commissioners voted on July 27 to implement a burn ban, including an agricultural exemption. Commissioner Joel Spraberry made the motion and Commissioner Lonnie Vivian seconded; Commissioner Danny Collett and County Judge Dale Spurgin were recorded as voting aye. The minutes reference Exhibit D for details of the burn ban.
The minutes do not specify the geographic scope, start time, or the exact conditions of the agricultural exemption; Exhibit D is cited as the supporting document for those implementation details. The court’s action places immediate local restrictions on open burning subject to exemptions recorded separately.
