Fort Worth FAQ
Can I keep a 20-pound propane tank on my Fort Worth apartment balcony?

Permits are typically required for aggregate storage exceeding 125 gallons water capacity. Smaller tanks for grills and small heaters do not need permits but must follow IFC setback and storage rules from buildings and ignition sources.
