The Lisbon Fire Department has changed the way we issue fire permits. The residents in town are now able to get a fire permit online through the state. There will be a $3 processing fee. We are hoping this will make it much more convenient for the townspeople. To access this, please go to www.nhfirepermit.com
You will need to read through the NH fire permit laws, click accept to all the affidavits, and then choose the town you will be burning in. Please remember, you still are required to follow the laws!
