Goodyear adopts the International Fire Code (IFC) through Code Section 5-2-1, which governs storage and handling of propane (LPG) on residential and commercial properties. Residential propane tanks for grills and patio heaters are allowed with placement restrictions. Larger tanks require permits from Goodyear Fire Department. Storage near ignition sources and building openings is regulated.
Under Goodyear's adopted 2018 International Fire Code (Section 5-2-1), propane storage is regulated based on container size and location. Standard 20-lb BBQ cylinders may be stored outdoors on residential property but must be kept upright, away from ignition sources, and not stored indoors or in enclosed garages. Tanks over 125 gallons (500 lb water capacity) for residential heating require permits and must meet setback requirements from buildings, property lines, and ignition sources per IFC Chapter 61. Commercial propane installations require operational permits from Goodyear Fire Prevention. All LPG installations must comply with NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code). Goodyear Fire Prevention at (623) 932-1074 handles permit applications and inspections.
Improper propane storage such as indoor storage of cylinders or failure to maintain required clearances violates the adopted fire code. Goodyear Fire Department at (623) 932-1074 enforces propane regulations. Violations may result in orders to correct, fines, and removal of improperly stored containers. Serious hazards may result in immediate abatement action.
