Impact analysis
Outside city limits, you can burn again after April 29 with no new fees tied to this change, but city burn-ban penalties still apply where local bans remain.
People outside Winston-Salem and Kernersville—especially landowners and farmers who need controlled burns—get some relief.
Smoke-sensitive people could see more smoke from legal burns, but no group is directly targeted by the change.
