I've bought a house inside Talladega city limits (Alabama) about two years ago, and have been forging off and on in the back yard. Its a rather poor area and my neighbors are friendly so no problems or complaints. And I don't think there are any ordinances regulating fires unless they are over a certain size. Except when there is a drought. I would say, and have always just gone ahead with what I need to do and let the regulations catch up later.
Then you can just apologize and conform. :P
