Lee County does not set its own residential propane-storage limits. Home LP-gas storage follows the Florida Fire Prevention Code, which adopts NFPA 58, and Florida's LP Gas program under the Department of Agriculture. Typical small grill and portable cylinders need no permit.
Liquefied petroleum (propane) storage in Florida is regulated through the statewide Florida Fire Prevention Code (which incorporates NFPA 1 and NFPA 58, the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) and licensed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services LP Gas program - not by a distinct Lee County ordinance. Small consumer cylinders for grills and portable heaters are unregulated for household use. Larger stationary tanks (for whole-home heat, pool heaters, generators) trigger NFPA 58 separation distances from buildings and property lines and require installation by a licensed LP-gas dealer, with permitting through Lee County's building department. Cylinder exchange and refill vendors must be state-licensed.
Improper LP-gas installation is a code violation enforced by the local fire marshal and building official under the Florida Fire Prevention Code; unlicensed LP-gas dealing violates FDACS licensing law.
