Kane County has no distinct residential propane-storage ordinance. LP-gas storage and handling are regulated statewide under the Illinois Propane Education and Research Act and the Office of the State Fire Marshal's rules adopting NFPA 58, enforced locally by fire protection districts.
Storage and handling of liquefied petroleum (propane) gas in Illinois fall under the Office of the State Fire Marshal, which adopts the national LP-Gas code (NFPA 58) by administrative rule (41 Ill. Adm. Code 200), and under the Illinois Propane Education and Research Act. These rules govern container size, placement setbacks, and installation for residential tanks and cylinders. Typical residential limits (such as cylinder quantity limits and clearances from ignition sources and openings) come from NFPA 58 and the adopted fire code, not from a Kane County ordinance. For unincorporated Kane County, the local fire protection district enforces these state-adopted standards; there is no separate county propane rule. Always confirm requirements with your fire protection district before installing a tank.
Enforced by the Office of the State Fire Marshal and local fire protection districts under the adopted fire code; penalties follow state fire-code provisions.
