Minnesota adopts NFPA 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code through the State Fire Code under Minn. Stat. 299F.011. Propane container placement, separation distances, and storage rules apply uniformly statewide and cannot be relaxed by cities.
Minn. Stat. 299F.011 authorizes the Minnesota State Fire Marshal to adopt the State Fire Code, which incorporates NFPA 58 governing liquefied petroleum gas. The code sets mandatory minimum separation distances between propane tanks and buildings, property lines, and ignition sources based on tank capacity. Residential 20-pound cylinder storage is generally limited to outdoor placement; larger tanks (100+ gallons) require greater setbacks. Minn. Stat. 326B.804 also regulates LP gas installer licensing. These code requirements form a statewide minimum; local jurisdictions may adopt stricter requirements through zoning but cannot reduce state-mandated safety distances or licensing.
Propane storage violations of the State Fire Code are misdemeanors with fines up to $1,000. Unlicensed LP gas work carries additional penalties under Minn. Stat. 326B.082.
