Salt Lake City enforces International Fire Code chapter 61 propane storage limits via SLC Title 18, capping residential cylinder storage and requiring permits for large tanks, with the Salt Lake City Fire Department conducting inspections.
SLCFD enforces the International Fire Code adopted by reference through SLC Code Title 18 and Utah Code 15A. Detached one- and two-family homes may store up to two 100-pound LP-gas cylinders outside without a permit. Multi-family residential, indoor storage, or aggregate water capacity over 125 gallons requires an operational permit and installation inspection. Cylinders must sit on noncombustible bases, be secured upright, kept clear of doorways and combustibles, and never stored in basements or under stairs. Commercial fueling stations face additional separation distances and shutoff valves.
Unpermitted oversized tanks, basement storage, or cylinders blocking egress trigger fire-code citations, mandatory removal, and fines under SLCFD enforcement and Title 18 administrative penalties.
