Greenville County follows the adopted SC Fire Code and NFPA 58 for propane. Portable LP-gas containers must be stored outdoors, protected against tampering, and kept clear of combustibles. Weeds, grass, brush, trash, and other combustible materials must be kept at least 10 feet from LP-gas tanks or containers.
Greenville County adopts the International Fire Code, which regulates liquefied petroleum gas in Chapter 61 and references NFPA 58. Storage of portable LP-gas containers of 1,000 pounds or less at consumer sites must comply with the code, be within a suitable enclosure or otherwise protected against tampering, and stay clear of ignition sources. Combustible materials such as weeds, grass, brush, and trash must be kept at least 10 feet from LP-gas tanks or containers. Small containers such as a 20-pound grill cylinder are permitted for residential use but should be stored outdoors and upright, never inside a home or basement. Larger tank installations require proper setbacks and, where applicable, permits.
Improper or indoor storage, blocked clearances, or an unsecured cylinder is a fire-code violation subject to correction orders and fines from the county fire official; it can also void homeowner insurance after a loss.
