Propane (LP-gas) storage in Jefferson Parish follows Louisiana's adopted Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, NFPA 58, enforced by the State Fire Marshal and the Louisiana LP Gas Commission. Container placement, cylinder quantities, and clearances from buildings and ignition sources must meet NFPA 58, and larger installations require permits and inspection.
Louisiana adopts NFPA 58, the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, as its statewide standard for LP-gas storage and handling (LAC Title 55, and via the State Fire Marshal). NFPA 58 governs how propane cylinders and tanks are located, spaced from buildings, doors, windows, and ignition sources, and how much may be stored at a dwelling. Small barbecue-grill cylinders (typically 20 lb) are allowed at homes with limits on quantity and placement, while larger permanent tanks require code-compliant setbacks and often permitting through the LP Gas Commission. Jefferson Parish enforces these state standards rather than a separate parish propane ordinance.
Improper LP-gas storage can be cited by the State Fire Marshal / LP Gas Commission; unsafe installations may be red-tagged.
