Nevada regulates liquefied petroleum gas storage and handling statewide under NRS 590 and NAC 590, adopting NFPA 58 by reference and licensing dealers, installers, and bulk storage facilities through the Board for the Regulation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas.
Under NRS 590.465 through 590.645, the Nevada Board for the Regulation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas licenses LP-gas dealers, installers, and transporters and adopts NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) and NFPA 54 statewide. Residential propane tank installations must comply with state setback rules: typically 10 feet from buildings and property lines for tanks over 125 gallons, and minimum clearances from ignition sources. Bulk storage facilities require state permits and inspection. The State Fire Marshal coordinates on commercial storage. Local jurisdictions may add stricter zoning rules but cannot reduce state safety standards.
Unlicensed LP-gas activity or installation violations are subject to civil penalties up to $10,000 and license revocation under NRS 590.605.
