Propane (LP-gas) storage in St. Petersburg follows the Florida LP Gas Code (NFPA 58), which limits residential cylinder size, sets minimum distances from buildings and ignition sources, and requires upright storage in ventilated locations.
St. Petersburg enforces propane storage through Chapter 13 Article II, which adopts the Florida Fire Prevention Code and the Florida LP Gas Code based on NFPA 58. Residential occupants may store up to two 20 lb cylinders connected to grills and additional unconnected cylinders subject to size limits. Cylinders must be stored upright outdoors, away from doorways, basement openings, and ignition sources. Storage inside attached garages is restricted, and DOT cylinders larger than 100 lbs water capacity must be installed by a licensed dealer with required separation from buildings and property lines. Refilling and exchange must occur at licensed facilities.
Improper storage, oversized cylinders, or unsafe siting can result in Fire Marshal red-tag orders and code-enforcement penalties.
