California uniformly applies the State Fire Marshal's propane storage standards through the California Fire Code, which all local jurisdictions must enforce as a minimum.
Title 24, Part 9 (California Fire Code) Chapter 61 adopts NFPA 58 requirements for liquefied petroleum gas storage, handling, and use statewide. Fire Code permits apply to larger tanks and stationary installations under Section 105, and tank setbacks from buildings and property lines apply uniformly. In heavily populated or congested areas, aggregate LP-gas capacity at any one installation is generally capped at 2,000 gallons water capacity unless the fire code official approves more. Local agencies may adopt fire-safety requirements stricter than the state code based on local conditions under Health and Safety Code 13143.5, but they cannot relax the state standard.
Fire Code violations are misdemeanors; storage exceeding limits without permit can result in red-tagging, fines, and forced removal at owner cost.
