Residential propane (LP-gas) storage in Macomb County follows Michigan's adopted International Fire Code and NFPA 58, applied through the state construction code and local fire departments — there is no separate county rule. Cylinders must be stored outdoors, away from basements and building openings, with valves protected. Local fire officials
Michigan adopts the International Fire Code (IFC) and International Fuel Gas Code into its state construction code, so the same LP-gas storage rules apply throughout Macomb County. Under IFC Chapter 61, LP-gas containers may not be stored in basements, pits, or similar below-grade spaces where heavier-than-air gas could collect unless approved ventilation is provided, and DOT cylinder valves must be protected by screw-on caps or collars whether the cylinder is full, partial, or empty. Containers must be secured against tampering and vehicle impact. For homes, small portable cylinders such as 20-lb grill tanks should be stored and used outdoors, upright, away from ignition sources, doors, and windows — never inside a home, garage, or basement. Larger stationary tanks require setbacks
Improper propane storage is enforced by local fire departments and building officials under the state-adopted fire code. Violations can bring correction orders, red-tag or condemnation of unsafe installations, civil-infraction citations, and requirements to relocate or secure cylinders before continued use.
