In most cases, you would get charged with arson even if it's your own house. The fire could spread to your neighbor's homes, and at the very least the smoke would cause a nuisance to the neighborhood. However, people who live out in open rural areas are sometimes known to burn down old dilapidated houses as an easy way of demolishing them. If you live way out in the country, it's probably legal as long as nothing around the house catches fire.

You cannot be charged with Arson for burning your own property. So it would depend on all the other little codes that might be broken like open bonfire and air quality stuff. I would suspect that they are all misdemeanors. If as a result someone else suffers loss then you may be sued, but I don't think you will face very much time in jail. Have fun and bring some marshmallows.

Just be sure you're sitting inside and you'll get away scot free.
Edit : Ignore marionso14-there is a potential fallout as a result of your actions. Are there other houses nearby? If so you would be endangering other peoples lives and property. Not to mention damage to the environment, property values of the Neighborhood etc.

Arson is a felony even if it's your own property, and so is insurance fraud. You would cause firefighters to risk their lives, and the fire could spread to other people's property.
If you are serious, you don't owe money on the house, aren't in the middle of a divorce or something, and the house isn't located close to other buildings, you might donate it to your fire department for training purposes.

That's a serious felony if you were doing it for insurance purposes(arson). Anyway-hard to tell. The gov't considers many factors when considering your case. Ever heard of Federal Sentencing Guidelines? It's real-they have a list full and it determines how much time you get for what crimes depending on whether this is your first or subsequent arrest? What you've been arrested for previously? It also considers things like your background, whether you've been law abiding, etc...don't do it, girl!!!

Largely depends on a state, but it is not going to be less than 5 years. Arson is a felony in most states and normally includes other charges as well such as public endangerment, attempt of harm, and insurance fraud.

7-10 years for arson, much more if some one accidently gets burned alive or the fire spreads. just a guess.

Why don't you jump off a bridge with a cement block tied to your neck.
You could get a long time for that
