Fort Bend County adopts the International Fire Code with local amendments, requiring Fire Marshal permits for LPG and propane storage in unincorporated areas.
Under the Fort Bend County Fire Code (8th edition), the Fire Marshal regulates LPG and propane storage, dispensing, and use in unincorporated areas. Operational and construction permits are required for facilities exceeding code thresholds (typically containers over 125 gallons aggregate water capacity). Stationary commercial installations also require state permits from the Texas Railroad Commission Alternative Fuels Safety Department, and plans must be submitted before construction at facilities with 10,000-gallon or greater aggregate capacity.
Operating without required permits or violating Fire Code provisions can result in stop-work orders, denial of certificate of occupancy, and Class C misdemeanor citations with fines up to $2,000 per day under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 233.
