Anderson follows the Indiana Fire Code, which restricts open-flame and LP-gas grills on combustible balconies and near multifamily buildings. Detached single-family homes are largely exempt; keep combustibles at least 10 feet from LP-gas containers.
Outdoor cooking with charcoal or propane grills in Anderson is governed by the Indiana Fire Code, adopted from the International Fire Code. The code generally prohibits operating charcoal burners and other open-flame or LP-gas cooking devices on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction at apartments, condominiums, and other multifamily buildings, though owner-occupied one- and two-family dwellings are typically exempt. Combustible materials such as weeds, brush, and trash must be kept at least 10 feet from LP-gas containers. Standard barbecue-size propane cylinders do not require a permit. Grilling that generates a persistent smoke nuisance affecting neighbors can also be addressed under the city's nuisance provisions.
Fire-code violations on multifamily balconies can be ordered corrected by fire officials; persistent smoke nuisances may be cited under city nuisance rules.
