Las Vegas Fire and Rescue enforces NFPA 58 and the State Fire Marshal LP-gas code on residential propane storage, capping aggregate cylinder volumes by location and requiring permits for tanks above 125 gallons.
Under LVMC Title 14 fire code, which adopts the International Fire Code plus NFPA 58, residential propane storage is limited by cylinder size and location. Single-family homes may keep portable cylinders up to 5 gallons (20 lb) for grills outdoors; aggregate above-ground storage above 125 gallons (LP) requires a Las Vegas Fire and Rescue permit and setbacks from buildings, ignition sources, and property lines. Cylinders cannot be stored indoors, in garages, or on stairway-blocking patios in multifamily buildings. The Nevada State Fire Marshal under NRS 477 inspects larger installations and bulk plants statewide. Strip casino kitchens follow Clark County Fire rules.
Fire-code citations, removal orders, fines per violation day, denial of fuel delivery, and possible prosecution for repeat violations or unsafe storage causing fire incident.
