Full Breakdown

Midwest City adopted the 2018 International Fire Code, then amended it under § 15-56 by repealing most operational and construction permit requirements: except LP-gas. Anyone storing or installing propane equipment needs an operational permit under Fire Code § 105.6.28 ($100 per location) and a construction permit under Fire Code § 105.7.12 ($50 per location) before work begins. The fire department issues and enforces both permits citywide; Tinker Air Force Base is federal land and follows its own rules, not this Code.

Violations & Fines

Storing, installing, or using LP-gas equipment without the required Fire Code permit is a violation the fire department can cite and enforce, since Sec. 15-56 makes the permit a condition of the adopted Fire Code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to store propane in Midwest City?
Yes. Midwest City Code § 15-56 keeps LP-gas as a Fire Code permit item: a $100 operational permit and, for new installations, a $50 construction permit, both issued by the fire department.
Does this apply on Tinker Air Force Base?
No. Tinker is federal property and is not governed by Midwest City's Code of Ordinances, including § 15-56's LP-gas permit rule.
How much does an LP-gas permit cost?
An operational permit for LP-gas use or storage is $100 per location; a construction permit for new LP-gas installations is $50 per location, per Midwest City Code § 15-56.
