Oklahoma City follows the International Fire Code adopted by the OKC Fire Department for propane cylinder storage, with strict separation distances for tanks based on capacity.
Residential propane storage in Oklahoma City is governed by the International Fire Code chapter on liquefied petroleum gases, adopted by the OKC Fire Department through Chapter 16 of the Municipal Code. Small grill cylinders up to 20 pounds may be stored outdoors in well-ventilated areas, never indoors or in basements. Larger residential ASME tanks must meet setback distances from buildings, ignition sources, and property lines based on water capacity. Permits from the OKC Fire Marshal apply to bulk installations. Cylinders must be transported upright and secured. Refilling is restricted to certified facilities under Oklahoma LP-Gas Administration rules.
Indoor cylinder storage, exceeding setback distances, missing permits for larger tanks, or transporting cylinders unsecured can lead to OKC Fire Marshal citations and forced removal.
