Summary
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (Tulsa County) requires fire-chief notice, plan approval and an annual permit before any liquefied petroleum (propane) gas system is installed, and bars new LP-gas equipment where natural gas already reaches the lot.
No system for the use of liquefied petroleum gases shall be installed until written notice thereof is given to the fire chief of the City of Broken Arrow or their designee, and the plans for such system have been submitted to the fire chief or their designee and approved... In no event shall liquefied petroleum gas equipment be installed on any residential or agricultural zoned lot or tract of land having natural gas available on or adjacent to the property, except where approved by the fire chief or their designee.

Full Breakdown
Section 6-4 covers propane, propylene, butane and butylene systems. No LP-gas system may be installed until the installer gives written notice to the fire chief and submits plans for approval; equipment must be tested and listed by Underwriters Laboratories or an equivalent national lab and approved by the state LP-gas administrator. Installers must keep dated installation records open to fire department inspection. On residential or agricultural-zoned lots, LP-gas equipment is barred outright if natural gas service is available on or adjacent to the property, unless the fire chief approves an exception. An annual permit fee applies, set in the city's Manual of Fees.
Violations & Fines
Installing without fire-chief notice and approval, or without the required permit, is noncompliant with section 6-4; unpaid annual fees automatically terminate the permit.
