Propane storage is governed by Michigan's statewide LP-gas rules, not a county ordinance. The state adopts NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) by reference under the Fire Prevention Code, Act 207 of 1941.
Genesee County has no separate propane ordinance; storage and handling of LP-gas follow Michigan's statewide rules administered by LARA's Bureau of Fire Services under the Fire Prevention Code (1941 PA 207, MCL 29.3c). Those rules adopt NFPA 58 (2014 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) by reference, covering container placement, separation distances, and damage protection. State-level plan review and permits apply to larger installations (over 2,000-gallon individual or 4,000-gallon aggregate capacity, or filling locations). Residential tanks must meet NFPA 58 setback and installation standards. Michigan amendments add requirements such as steel guard posts to protect containers from vehicle damage.
Enforced by LARA Bureau of Fire Services and local fire officials; violations of the Fire Prevention Code and adopted NFPA 58 rules can bring state penalties and orders to correct.
