Toledo Fire and Rescue enforces the Ohio Fire Code under Ohio Administrative Code 1301:7-7 for propane storage. Residential cylinders are limited in size and placement, and bulk plant storage above 2,000 gallons requires a permit. Tanks must meet setback and labeling rules.
Ohio Fire Code adopted under Ohio Administrative Code 1301:7-7 governs liquefied petroleum gas storage statewide and is enforced locally by Toledo Fire and Rescue Department Fire Prevention Bureau. Residential occupants may store cylinders up to 20 pounds inside one- and two-family homes for grills, but larger tanks must be outdoors with required setbacks from buildings, property lines, and ignition sources. Aggregate storage above 720 pounds at any single-family location triggers a state operational permit. Bulk plants and dispensing stations need site plan review by the Plan Commission and operational permits from Toledo Fire. Tanks must display proper hazard labels, and connections must use approved hose and regulator components.
Operational without a permit is a fourth-degree misdemeanor under Ohio Revised Code Section 3737.51 with fines up to 250 dollars per day; Toledo Fire can also order immediate removal of nonconforming tanks.
