Passaic County does not set propane-storage limits; the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code adopts NFPA 58 statewide. Residential grill cylinders are limited in size, and larger tanks trigger permit and clearance requirements.
Storage and use of liquefied petroleum gas (propane) is governed by the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code (N.J.A.C. 5:70), which adopts the International Fire Code and NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code), enforced by your municipal fire official rather than Passaic County. For homes, this limits the aggregate quantity of portable cylinders that may be stored and requires cylinders to be kept outdoors, upright, away from ignition sources and building openings. Larger stationary tanks and commercial storage require fire-official permits and specific separation distances. Grilling cylinders should not be stored indoors or in occupied spaces. Confirm any additional local requirements with your town's fire department.
Improper propane storage can result in Uniform Fire Code violation notices and fines from the local fire official, and orders to correct unsafe conditions.
