Rutherford County sets no separate propane-storage ordinance. LP-gas storage follows the state-adopted fire code and NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code), enforced by the State Fire Marshal. Small residential grill cylinders (typically 20 lb) are exempt from permitting; larger tanks have placement and clearance rules.
Tennessee adopts the International Fire Code and NFPA 58 for liquefied-petroleum-gas storage and handling, administered through the State Fire Marshal's Office and local fire officials rather than a county propane ordinance. Homeowner grill cylinders are treated as consumer use and are exempt from permits, but they should be stored outdoors, upright, and away from ignition sources and building openings. Larger stationary tanks (for example 100+ gallon home-heating tanks) must meet NFPA 58 setback distances from buildings and property lines and are inspected by the propane supplier. Multifamily buildings face added fire-code limits on cylinder storage.
Improper LP-gas storage can bring fire-code correction orders and citations from the fire marshal or local fire department; suppliers may refuse to fill non-compliant tanks.
