Virginia Beach, VA Fire Regulations: Propane Storage (2026)

The city has adopted the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code by reference (City Code § 12-41), and that code's local fee schedule sets a $50.00 annual permit fee for the "storage and use of LP-gas" (City Code § 12-49.1(33)). The permit is issued and enforced through the fire marshal's office. This item sits alongside dozens of other permit-fee categories in the same schedule, compressed gas, cryogenic fluids, flammable and combustible liquids, reflecting the code's general approach of requiring a fire department permit before storing or using regulated hazardous materials, including propane, anywhere in the city.
