Florida regulates propane (LP-gas) storage, transport, and installation uniformly under Chapter 527 and the Florida Fire Prevention Code, preempting inconsistent local rules.
Chapter 527, Florida Statutes, vests the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services with sole authority to license and regulate liquefied petroleum gas dealers, installers, and equipment. Section 527.06 requires installation, storage, and transportation to comply with NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) as adopted into the Florida Fire Prevention Code under Chapter 633. Local governments may not adopt installation, container, or licensing standards that conflict with state rules.
Operating an LP-gas business without a state license, or installing equipment in violation of NFPA 58, is a first-degree misdemeanor under Section 527.13 with administrative fines up to $5,000 per violation.
