Miami-Dade Fire Rescue enforces NFPA 58 and the Florida Fire Prevention Code on propane tank storage, capping the amount of liquefied petroleum gas residents may keep on a single-family lot and regulating tank placement near buildings.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) is the local enforcer of the Florida Fire Prevention Code, which adopts NFPA 58 for liquefied petroleum gas. Single-family homes in unincorporated Miami-Dade may keep limited quantities of propane on site, typically up to two cylinders for grills plus a permitted bulk tank for whole-house service. Tanks must sit on level ground, away from windows, ignition sources, and storm drains. Larger tanks require a fuel permit through the Building Department under Chapter 8A. During hurricane preparation, residents must secure tanks against wind and flooding, and refilling is suspended once a tropical storm warning is issued.
Improper tank placement, oversized residential storage, or unpermitted bulk tanks can trigger MDFR red-tag orders, removal of tanks, and Chapter 8CC civil penalties starting around $250.
