Michigan adopts NFPA 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code via the Michigan Fire Prevention Code (MCL 29.1). Wayne County residential propane tanks above 125 gallons require permits and setback compliance.
Michigan State Fire Marshal enforces NFPA 58 standards for liquefied petroleum gas storage. Residential tanks under 125 gallons (e.g., grill cylinders, small heaters) need no permit but must follow setback rules: 10 feet from buildings for tanks 125-500 gallons, 25 feet for 500-2,000 gallons. Tanks must sit on stable, non-combustible bases. Indoor storage of cylinders larger than one pound is prohibited in occupied dwellings. Wayne County local fire departments inspect installations during construction. DTW airport area imposes additional restrictions due to flight path safety. Heating oil and propane combined storage at one location requires fire marshal review.
Improper storage triggers fire marshal stop-work orders, removal demands, and civil fines up to $5,000. Indoor cylinder storage violations are misdemeanors under MCL 29.5c with 90 days jail.
