Cheyenne follows Wyoming-adopted International Fire Code propane rules, capping residential cylinder storage and requiring tank setbacks from structures, doorways, and ignition sources at private homes.
Cheyenne enforces propane and liquefied petroleum gas storage standards through the Wyoming-adopted International Fire Code applied via Cheyenne Fire Rescue. At single-family homes, total propane cylinder storage outside the dwelling is generally capped near the IFC residential limit, and cylinders inside attached garages or living spaces are tightly restricted by size. Permanent above-ground tanks for heating must meet setbacks from buildings, property lines, doorways, windows, and ignition sources. Tanks must be installed by licensed contractors, inspected, and protected from vehicle impact. State Fire Marshal rules apply alongside city enforcement for larger commercial systems.
Improperly stored propane can prompt a Fire Marshal abatement order, fines from one hundred to several hundred dollars, refusal of insurance claims after incidents, and possible criminal liability for explosions.
