Home barbecuing is allowed in Davis County, but the adopted International Fire Code limits grilling at multifamily buildings: open-flame propane and charcoal grills generally cannot be used or stored on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of apartments and condos. Single-family homes have far more freedom, subject to fire restrictions.
Utah's adopted International Fire Code (Title 15A) governs outdoor cooking near buildings. For apartments, condos, and other multifamily occupancies, charcoal burners and other open-flame cooking devices, plus LP-gas grills with tanks over a set size, generally may not be operated or stored on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of the structure, unless the building is fully sprinklered or grilling is at a designated area. Single-family and duplex homes are largely exempt and may grill in the yard. During Stage 1 fire restrictions, propane and gas grills usually remain allowed because they can be shut off instantly, but charcoal use may be curtailed near dry vegetation.
Grilling on an apartment balcony against fire code can bring fire-district correction orders, fines, and landlord lease enforcement.
