Galveston County has no ordinance on backyard barbecues or propane grills. Grilling is unregulated in unincorporated areas; inside cities the adopted fire code limits open-flame grills near multifamily buildings.
There is no county rule on where you can grill or store a grill cylinder because Texas counties cannot zone or adopt fire codes for unincorporated areas. Ordinary backyard barbecuing at a single-family home is not restricted by the county. Cities that adopt the International Fire Code (via Section 308) typically bar charcoal and LP-gas grills from being used or stored on combustible balconies or within ten feet of apartment and condominium buildings, with exceptions for one- and two-family dwellings. During a county burn ban, self-contained gas and charcoal cooking devices are generally still allowed since flames are contained, but confirm the specific order.
No county penalty applies. City fire-code grill violations at multifamily properties are cited by the municipal fire marshal.
