Safety Harbor adopts the Florida Fire Prevention Code and NFPA 58, regulating propane cylinder size, placement, and clearance from buildings. Larger tanks require permits and Fire Marshal inspection before installation or refilling.
Through Chapter 8 of the city code, Safety Harbor adopts the Florida Fire Prevention Code, which incorporates NFPA 58 - Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code. Residential propane cylinders for grills are limited to 20 pounds for indoor storage prohibitions and must be stored outdoors away from ignition sources, basements, and stairwells. Aggregate storage above 720 pounds at a residence requires permitting and setbacks from buildings, property lines, and ignition sources. Commercial installations need plan review and Fire Marshal inspection, and refilling cylinders must occur at properly permitted dispensers. Damaged, expired, or improperly placed tanks can be condemned and removed by the Fire Department.
Indoor storage of propane, oversized residential aggregate, or unpermitted tanks can result in red-tagging, removal orders, and fines under the Florida Fire Prevention Code.
