Propane storage in Montgomery County follows the Ohio Fire Code (OAC 1301:7-7-61). Only small cylinders may be stored inside a home or attached garage, and large tanks or bulk quantities require fire-department permits.
There is no separate county propane ordinance; the statewide Ohio Fire Code rule OAC 1301:7-7-61 controls. Storing LP-gas cylinders inside a residential building or attached garage is tightly limited to very small cylinders (2.7 pounds water capacity each, 5.4 pounds aggregate per unit). Larger barbecue and RV cylinders must be stored outdoors, upright, away from ignition sources and building openings. Stationary tanks over 2,000 gallons, rooftop ASME containers, or aggregate installations over 4,000 gallons require a permit from the fire code official. Never store propane in basements or pits where heavier-than-air gas can collect. Your local fire department enforces these provisions.
Violations of the Ohio Fire Code can bring correction orders, fines, and permit-denial from the fire code official, plus liability if improper storage causes a fire or explosion.
