Dallas County Fire Marshal enforces the International Fire Code Chapter 61 for propane and liquefied petroleum gas storage in unincorporated areas. Cylinders over 125 gallons require permits, and the Texas Railroad Commission licenses LPG dealers statewide.
The Dallas County Fire Marshal Office enforces the adopted IFC in unincorporated Dallas County, including Section 6101 covering LPG storage, dispensing, and use. Residential propane tanks under 125 gallons of water capacity for grilling or temporary heating are generally exempt from permits but must follow setback rules. Stationary tanks of 125 gallons or larger require an LPG installation permit, hydrostatic testing, and locator markings. Distance from buildings, property lines, and ignition sources scales with tank size. Texas Railroad Commission rules under 16 TAC Chapter 9 license dealers and installers.
Violations of the IFC propane provisions in unincorporated Dallas County are Class C misdemeanors with fines up to 2,000 dollars per day. Unlicensed installers also face Texas Railroad Commission civil penalties up to 10,000 dollars.
