Propane storage is governed by the International Fire Code (and NFPA 58) that Spartanburg County adopts, not a separate county ordinance. Small grill cylinders are unrestricted; larger tanks require code-compliant siting and, for big installations, fire-marshal review.
Spartanburg County enforces the International Fire Code, which incorporates NFPA 58 for liquefied-petroleum gas. Ordinary barbecue-size cylinders (typically 20 lb) for household use are allowed without a permit. Larger stationary LP-gas tanks must meet code setbacks from buildings, property lines and ignition sources based on container size, and sizable commercial installations may require plan review by the county Fire Marshal. The county publishes no propane rules separate from the adopted fire code. Installers must follow manufacturer and NFPA 58 clearance and anchoring requirements.
Improperly sited or oversized tanks violate the adopted fire code and can be red-tagged by the Fire Marshal until corrected.
