Montgomery County sets no separate propane-storage ordinance. Storage and use of LP-gas cylinders follows the International Fire Code adopted through the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, enforced by your municipal fire and building officials. Small home barbecue cylinders are broadly allowed with limits.
Propane (LP-gas) storage in Montgomery County is governed by the fire code your municipality adopts under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (UCC, 35 P.S. §7210.101 et seq.; 34 Pa. Code Ch. 403), which incorporates the International Fire Code (IFC) Chapter 61 and NFPA 58. Those standards limit the aggregate quantity of LP-gas that may be stored on residential property, restrict cylinder storage inside dwellings, require cylinders to be kept upright and secured, and bar storage near exits, HVAC intakes, or ignition sources. Typical residential practice permits standard 20-lb barbecue cylinders with a small on-site aggregate limit and prohibits storing filled cylinders indoors or in basements. Larger tanks for home heating are regulated under NFPA 58 for setbacks from property lines
Improper LP-gas storage is a fire-code violation enforced by the municipal fire marshal or building code official, cited as a summary offense with local fines and orders to correct. Suppliers and installers also must meet NFPA 58 and PA UCC
