Butler County sets no separate propane rule. LP-gas storage in homes follows the Ohio Fire Code (OAC 1301:7-7-61), which limits cylinders stored inside a residential building to small containers and a modest aggregate water capacity per living unit. Larger tanks and outdoor placement follow NFPA 58.
There is no countywide propane ordinance; storage is governed by the state-adopted Ohio Fire Code (OAC 1301:7-7-61, based on the International Fire Code) and NFPA 58. Inside a residential building - including attached garages and common basement storage - cylinders are strictly limited to small water-capacity containers, with a low aggregate limit per living-space unit. Larger grill and whole-house tanks must be stored and located outdoors with clearances from ignition sources, openings, and property lines. Local fire departments (Hamilton, Middletown, West Chester, etc.) enforce the fire code, so confirm siting for tanks over 20 pounds.
Fire-code violations are cited by the local fire department or fire marshal and can require corrective action; hazardous storage may be ordered abated immediately.
