Full Breakdown

City Code § 24-23 sets the city's LPG storage limits by amending the adopted fire prevention code: containers larger than 1,000 gallons (10,000 lbs. water capacity) are prohibited outright everywhere in Kissimmee, and for smaller, non-bulk containers, a residential site's total aggregate propane capacity, adding up every tank on the property, can't exceed 1,000 gallons. A homeowner running several smaller cylinders or tanks has to keep the combined total under that 1,000-gallon ceiling, not just size each individual tank to it.

Violations & Fines

This isn't on the chapter 22 fine schedule, so § 1-22(a)'s general penalty applies: up to $500 per violation or imprisonment, with each day of noncompliance a separate offense; a fire inspector may cite under F.S. ch. 162 (§ 24-22).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have two 500-gallon propane tanks at my Kissimmee home?
No, § 24-23(2) caps total aggregate residential LPG capacity at 1,000 gallons, so two 500-gallon tanks hit the ceiling and any additional tank exceeds it.
Is a 1,200-gallon propane tank ever allowed in Kissimmee?
No. § 24-23(1) prohibits any LPG container over 1,000 gallons capacity anywhere in the city, with no listed exception for commercial or industrial sites.
