League City regulates aboveground storage tanks under Section 125-4.5.2 and the 2021 IFC adopted in Section 46-71. Propane tanks over specified sizes require setbacks from buildings and compliance with NFPA standards.
Section 125-4.5.2 addresses aboveground atmospheric pressure storage tanks in the site development standards. The 2021 International Fire Code adopted under Section 46-71 governs LP-gas (propane) storage and handling per NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code). Residential propane tanks must maintain setbacks from buildings, property lines, and ignition sources per NFPA 58. Standard residential grill-size propane tanks (20 lb) are generally permitted without special requirements. Larger tanks for home heating or pool equipment require fire marshal approval and compliance with IFC setback tables. League City's hurricane exposure means propane tank anchoring and storm preparation are important safety considerations.
Non-compliant propane storage: fire code violation, fine up to $500 per offense. Fire marshal may order removal of improperly stored tanks.
