Propane storage in Suffolk County is governed by the New York Uniform Fire Code (Title 19 NYCRR) and NFPA 58. Residential tanks have setback, capacity, and permit rules enforced by town fire marshals.
Suffolk County applies the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, codified at 19 NYCRR Parts 1219 through 1228, which adopts the International Fire Code with NFPA 58 standards for liquid propane gas. For residential one and two family dwellings, aggregate aboveground tank capacity is limited and tanks must be set back from buildings, property lines, and ignition sources based on tank size. Tanks larger than 125 gallons typically require a permit from the town fire marshal or building department. Cylinders for grills must be stored outdoors and never inside a dwelling or garage.
Code violation: NY Uniform Code 19 NYCRR Part 1225; fines from two hundred fifty to ten thousand dollars per violation depending on town and severity.
