Bulloch County, GA Fire Regulations: Propane Storage (2026)

The county's code does not set a general residential propane tank rule for finished homes; the only county-adopted LP-gas storage standard governs a "temporary occupancy unit" under Zoning Ordinance Section 1445, the recreational vehicle or camper a family or work crew occupies while the permanent house on the same lot is under construction. Section 1445(j) requires that LP-gas storage and delivery systems on that unit be maintained according to the manufacturer's requirements; if the manufacturer's requirements are not followed, the storage and delivery system must instead meet the current editions of the Uniform Fire, Building and Mechanical Codes.

That sits alongside related requirements for the same temporary unit: heating systems and any solid or liquid-fuel burning appliance must also be installed and maintained per the manufacturer's listing, the unit itself must be built to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) code, and no more than one temporary occupancy unit may be occupied per parcel. A separate permit with a fee from the county's schedule of fees is required for the unit, valid for one year with a possible one-year extension if the zoning administrator finds a good-faith construction effort underway, and the unit must come down within 30 days of the certificate of occupancy for the finished home.

00 per unit to guarantee removal, and a code enforcement officer investigating a complaint can demand proof of continuing compliance with these standards or require the occupancy to stop.
