Propane (LP-gas) storage is governed statewide by N.J.A.C. 5:18, which adopts NFPA 58. Rooftop LP-gas tanks are prohibited except during construction, and installers need a state Propane Service Certification. Morris County sets no separate propane ordinance.
New Jersey regulates the design, location, installation and storage of LP-gas (propane) systems under N.J.A.C. 5:18, using NFPA 58 (LP-Gas Code) as its technical base with state additions. The rules prohibit installing LP-gas tanks on the roofs of buildings except while under construction, set clearance and container-placement standards, and require anyone servicing propane containers or appliances to hold a state-issued Propane Service Certification. At one- or two-family homes, containers may be disconnected and moved under specified conditions. These are statewide standards enforced through the Uniform Fire Code and your local fire official; Morris County has no county-specific propane storage rule. Confirm tank size and setback limits with your municipal fire inspector.
Non-compliant installations or uncertified work are cited under the Uniform Fire Code and N.J.A.C. 5:18 by the local enforcing agency, with orders to correct.
