The Alabama Liquefied Petroleum Gas Board regulates the storage, handling, transportation, and installation of propane and LP-gas systems statewide under Title 9, Chapter 17, with uniform requirements that preempt conflicting local ordinances on tank installation and licensing.
Alabama Code Sections 9-17-100 through 9-17-109 establish the Alabama LP-Gas Board with exclusive authority to license dealers, installers, and service technicians, and to adopt safety standards based on NFPA 58. Tank setback distances, container size limits, fill procedures, and qualified personnel requirements are set uniformly. Only Board-licensed individuals may install, service, or fill LP-gas containers in Alabama. Municipalities may not impose conflicting licensing or installation standards, though local fire marshals may enforce adopted state rules. Residential tank installations require permits and inspections per NFPA 58.
Unlicensed LP-gas work is a misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000 per offense, license revocation, and civil liability. Illegal tank installations must be removed at owner's expense.
