Propane storage in Texas is regulated by the Railroad Commission's LP-Gas safety rules, not by Bell County zoning. Cities apply the International Fire Code to tank size, placement and setbacks. Small consumer cylinders for grills and homes are generally unrestricted.
Texas regulates liquefied petroleum (LP) gas statewide through the Railroad Commission of Texas Alternative Fuels program (16 TAC Ch. 9), which adopts NFPA 58 for the installation, storage and setback of propane tanks and requires licensing of installers and dealers. A Texas county has no zoning authority, so unincorporated Bell County does not add its own tank-placement or size limits beyond the state LP-gas rules and NFPA 58 clearances. Inside Killeen, Temple and Belton, the adopted International Fire Code governs aggregate cylinder quantities, distances from buildings and property lines, and permit thresholds for larger tanks. Consumer-size cylinders (grill/RV bottles) are broadly permitted.
LP-gas rule violations are enforced by the Railroad Commission (administrative penalties, license action). City fire-code violations carry municipal fines.
