Residential propane storage follows the Florida Fire Prevention Code, which adopts NFPA 58 (LP-Gas Code) and NFPA 1. In multifamily buildings, LP-gas cylinders over one pound are prohibited above the first floor, so gas grills and tanks cannot be kept on apartment or condo balconies.
Propane storage and use in Seminole County are regulated by the statewide Florida Fire Prevention Code, which incorporates NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) and NFPA 1. For one- and two-family homes, standard backyard grill cylinders (typically 20 lb) are permitted with proper handling, spacing from ignition sources, and outdoor storage. For other than one- and two-family dwellings, the code prohibits storing or using LP-gas in quantities greater than one pound above the first floor, which effectively bars propane grills and spare tanks on apartment and condo balconies. Store cylinders upright, outdoors, away from heat, and never inside a home or garage in use.
Fire-code violations are enforced by the fire marshal or code enforcement; unsafe LP-gas storage in multifamily units can require immediate removal and citation.
