Propane and LPG storage in Cedar Park is regulated under the 2021 International Fire Code (Chapter 61, adopted via Article 5.01) and the Texas LP-Gas Safety Rules. Tank installation requires a Fire Marshal permit with tank and line pressure testing fees of $90 and $60.
Cedar Park has adopted the 2021 IFC (Article 5.01), including Chapter 61, which governs liquefied petroleum gases. The IFC requires permits and clearance distances for stationary LPG containers: typical residential 100 lb (24-gal) cylinders and 500-gal aboveground ASME tanks must meet NFPA 58 setback distances (e.g., a 500-gal tank must be at least 10 feet from any building or property line; 250–500 gal containers at least 10 ft from an important building, and aggregate containers >2,000 gal at least 25 ft). Cedar Park's Fire Protection Related Fees (Code Appendix A) charge $90 for a tank pressure test, $60 for a line pressure test, and $65 for other fire-code permits. Statewide, LP-gas operations are also regulated by the Railroad Commission of Texas under Tex. Nat. Res. Code Ch. 113 and 16 Tex. Admin. Code Ch. 9 (LP-Gas Safety Rules), which require licensing for installers and adopt NFPA 58. Residential cylinders ≤25 gal (about 100 lb) used for grilling generally do not require a city permit, but commercial storage, refilling, or any tank ≥125 gal does.
Operating without a required fire permit, or installing/storing LPG in violation of NFPA 58 setbacks, is a violation of the adopted Fire Code under Article 5.01, a Class C misdemeanor with fines up to $2,000 per offense per Tex. Local Gov't Code §54.001. The Fire Marshal may order tanks removed, red-tagged, or temporarily disconnected for non-compliance.
