Propane storage in Middlesex County follows the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code, which adopts International Fire Code LP-gas provisions. Homeowners may keep small cylinders for grilling, while larger containers, indoor storage limits, and container siting are regulated by state code and enforced by municipal fire officials.
Liquefied petroleum (propane) storage in Middlesex County is governed by the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code (N.J.A.C. 5:70), which adopts International Fire Code Chapter 61 and NFPA 58 for LP-gas. There is no separate county propane ordinance. Residential use allows portable grill cylinders (commonly 20-pound tanks), but the code restricts the quantity and location of cylinders stored indoors and near buildings, and sets separation distances for larger stationary tanks. Storage of LP-gas containers inside habitable spaces is limited, and cylinders should be kept outdoors, upright, and away from ignition sources. Enforcement falls to each municipality's fire official, who inspects commercial installations and larger tanks under the Uniform Fire Code.
Improper or oversized propane storage, or indoor storage exceeding code limits, can be cited by the municipal fire official under the Uniform Fire Code, with orders to correct and possible fines. Commercial LP-gas installations require code-compliant siting and inspection.
