Burlington County sets no propane-storage ordinance. Storage of LP-gas cylinders is governed by the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code (N.J.A.C. 5:70), which restricts where and how tanks may be kept, especially at apartments and near combustible construction.
There is no Burlington County propane rule; LP-gas storage follows the statewide Uniform Fire Code (N.J.A.C. 5:70), which adopts the International Fire Code. Portable LP-gas cooking equipment such as barbecue grills may not be stored or used on porches, balconies or other portions of multifamily (R-2) buildings, with an exception for detached owner-occupied one- and two-family dwellings. Larger LP-gas containers over 2.5 pounds water capacity may not sit on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction. Spare cylinders should be stored outdoors, upright, away from heat and building openings. The rule is enforced by each municipality's fire prevention bureau, so confirm specifics with your Burlington County town's fire official.
Municipal fire officials enforce the Uniform Fire Code; storage violations can carry fire-code penalties and orders to remove or relocate cylinders.
