South Fulton has no separate propane/LP-gas ordinance; the term 'propane' appears in the code only in the solid-waste rules. Propane and LP-gas storage are regulated through the International Fire Code adopted in Sec. 13-3001 and Georgia's state LP-gas rules, enforced by the city Fire Marshal.
A full-text review of the City of South Fulton Code of Ordinances found no dedicated propane or LP-gas storage ordinance. The word 'propane' appears only in Sec. 6-2002 (solid-waste definitions), and 'liquefied petroleum' appears only inside Sec. 13-3001's fire-code permit revisions - there is no city-specific tank-size, setback, or quantity rule in the code text. Instead, Title 13, Chapter 3, Sec. 13-3001 adopts 'the latest edition of the International Fire Code referenced in O.C.G.A. 8-2-20(9)(B), as adopted and amended from time to time by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.' The International Fire Code (Chapter 61, Liquefied Petroleum Gases) governs LP-gas container location, separation distances, and permit thresholds; small residential cylinders for grills are generally exempt while larger tanks trigger permit and clearance requirements. Georgia also regulates LP-gas dealers and installations under the State Fire Marshal's rules (O.C.G.A. Title 10, Chapter 1, Article 15, and Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. Ch. 120-3). Because South Fulton adopts the IFC by reference rather than writing its own numbers, propane storage compliance is measured against the current Georgia-amended IFC and state LP-gas rules, enforced by the city's Fire Marshal.
Improper LP-gas storage - such as exceeding permit-threshold quantities without a permit or violating IFC separation distances - is enforced under the adopted International Fire Code (Sec. 13-3001) by the South Fulton Fire Marshal through inspection, correction notices, and citations, rather than a city-specific propane fine schedule. State LP-gas installation and dealer rules are enforced by the Georgia State Fire Marshal.
