Dunedin regulates propane and LP-gas storage through the Florida Fire Prevention Code adopted in Chapter 38, which incorporates NFPA 58 cylinder, setback, and exchange-cabinet standards enforced by Dunedin Fire Rescue.
Chapter 38 of Dunedin's Code of Ordinances adopts the Florida Fire Prevention Code, which includes NFPA 58, the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code. Residential cylinders up to 100 pounds are generally allowed for grills and patio heaters when stored outdoors, upright, and away from ignition sources. Aggregate residential storage above prescribed thresholds requires permits and additional setbacks from buildings, property lines, and air intakes. Commercial dispensing and exchange cages must meet NFPA 58 location, signage, and barrier requirements, and installation of fixed tanks larger than 125 gallons typically requires a permit and inspection. Florida Statute Chapter 527 also governs the LP-gas industry and licensing of dealers.
Unsafe storage may be ordered corrected immediately by Dunedin Fire Rescue; continuing violations result in code enforcement fines and possible state action against licensed dealers.
