Propane (LP-gas) storage in Redondo Beach follows the adopted 2022 California Fire Code, enforced by the Fire Department. Small barbecue and patio-heater cylinders are allowed for home use, but larger aggregate quantities and commercial storage trigger an operational permit and clearance rules under Fire Code Chapter 61.
Redondo Beach adopted the 2022 California Fire Code as the Redondo Beach Fire Code (RBMC Title 3, Chapter 4, Article 1, § 3-4.101), so LP-gas (propane) storage is governed by California Fire Code Chapter 61. For ordinary households, small portable cylinders for gas barbecues and patio heaters are permitted with no permit. Larger aggregate storage (commonly around 500 gallons or more, and many commercial installations) requires an operational permit plus rules on siting, separation from buildings and lot lines, impact protection, and no storage below grade. Standard safety: store cylinders outdoors, upright and secure, never indoors; never use a damaged cylinder; fill only at licensed dealers. Multifamily and commercial sites are inspected by the Fire Prevention Division.
Storing LP-gas without a required operational permit, exceeding allowed quantities, or storing cylinders indoors or below grade violates the California Fire Code (RBMC 3-4.101, CFC Chapter 61) and can be cited, with orders to correct or remove the hazard.
