Jefferson County has no unique county propane-storage ordinance; residential LPG storage is governed by the adopted International Fire Code and Colorado LP-gas rules. Notably, gas- and liquid-fueled appliances stay legal to use even during Stage 1 and Stage 2 fire bans.
Propane (LPG) storage in unincorporated Jefferson County is regulated through the adopted fire and building codes (International Fire Code / NFPA 58) enforced by the local fire protection districts and County Building Safety, plus Colorado Division of Oil and Public Safety LP-gas rules for tank installation, setbacks, and inspection. There is no separate county ordinance setting residential tank limits beyond those codes. A practical, wildfire-specific point for Jeffco residents: during Sheriff-declared fire restrictions, "liquid or gas fueled appliances”—including gas grills and propane fire pits—remain permitted, so stored propane may still be used, unlike wood or charcoal. Larger tanks and refill/exchange operations require code-compliant siting and, in some cases, permits.
Improper LPG installation is corrected through fire-district and Building Safety inspection; state OPS rules carry their own enforcement for licensed installers.
