Marion County has no separate propane-storage ordinance. Home propane is governed by the Oregon Fire Code (the state-adopted International Fire Code) and NFPA 58, enforced by your local fire district.
Residential propane use follows the Oregon Fire Code, which Oregon adopts statewide from the International Fire Code with NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code). Small portable cylinders for grills are broadly allowed, but the code limits the aggregate quantity of LP-gas stored on residential property, sets separation distances between tanks and buildings or property lines, and restricts storing full cylinders inside occupied dwellings. Larger stationary tanks typically need a permit and inspection through the local fire authority. There is no unique Marion County threshold; the statewide fire code and district enforcement apply in both cities and unincorporated areas.
Improper storage is a fire-code violation abatable by the fire marshal or building official, who can order relocation, permitting, or removal of noncompliant tanks.
