The town FAQ gives a bounded seasonal window
Victoria's official ordinance page quotes the town code as allowing people to burn leaves from trees on property they own or occupy from October 16 through December 15 and from March 16 through May 15. The listed hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The language is limited to leaves from trees and to property ownership or residence described by the code. It should not be expanded to garbage, construction material, another person's property or a different locality.
State restrictions and air alerts override the ordinary window
The town page says the seasonal allowance does not apply during periods when outdoor fires are restricted by state law or when there is an air-pollution alert or emergency.
Check current state and local safety notices immediately before any activity. A calendar date inside the window is not proof that burning is lawful or safe today, and this guide is not a fire permit or emergency authorization.
