Larimer County sets no unique propane-storage ordinance; residential LP-gas tanks are governed by the adopted International Fire Code and NFPA 58, which set tank size, placement and distance-to-structure and property-line rules enforced by the building division and fire districts.
Storage and use of liquefied petroleum gas in the unincorporated county follow the International Fire Code and NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) adopted through the county's building and fire codes. These standards dictate container spacing from buildings, property lines and ignition sources based on tank capacity, plus installation and leak requirements. Local fire protection districts are the authority having jurisdiction and may add requirements. Larger tanks and commercial installations require permits. Confirm specifics with your fire protection district before installing a tank.
Noncompliant LP-gas installations can be red-tagged and must be corrected; fire-code violations are enforced by the authority having jurisdiction (fire district) and the building division.
