Frisco enforces the International Fire Code as adopted in FMC Chapter 14, which limits residential propane storage. Tanks larger than 125 gallons need Frisco Fire Department permits, setbacks from buildings and property lines, and Texas Railroad Commission compliance.
FMC Chapter 14 adopts the International Fire Code, including chapters that govern liquefied petroleum gas. Residences may store small portable cylinders for grilling and emergency generators without permits, but larger stationary tanks above 125 gallons trigger Frisco Fire Department permits and inspection. Tanks must be set back from buildings, property lines, and ignition sources, and exchange cabinets at retailers need ventilation and signage. Texas Railroad Commission rules at the state level cover LPG installer licensing and tank construction. Multi-family properties and commercial kitchens have stricter quantity limits and dispensing requirements with monitored shutoffs and pressure relief.
Oversized residential tanks without permits, blocked relief valves, or unsafe setbacks trigger Frisco Fire Department orders, fines, and may force LPG removal at the owner's expense.
