Installing a Propane Tank

Installing or replacing a propane tank does not require a certificate of authorization from the Urban Planning Department. However, certain regulations apply and must be met.

Applicable regulations

Before deciding where to place a propane tank on your property, it's important to understand the local regulations that apply. Propane tanks must follow specific rules outlined in the municipal by-laws:

The Service de sécurité incendie de Montréal (SIM) Fire Prevention By-Law also provides certain restrictions regarding the use of portable cooking appliances and other appliances fueled by propane, specifically concerning the location of the tanks and their proximity to the dwelling.

Propane Tank Installation and Safety Measures

The specific regulation governing the installation of propane tanks can be found in Articles 4.4 and 10.7 of the Zoning By-Law No. 90-58.
  • A propane tank shall be installed only in the rear and lateral setback (prohibited in front setbacks).
  • All tanks including propane cylinders must be hidden from street view.

Propane tanks must be stored outdoors at all times. They are prohibited inside buildings or enclosed areas such as garden sheds, cabanas, garages or other structures that do not have adequate ventilation.

Since pressure inside cylinders builds up considerably when the ambient temperature rises, you must avoid exposing the tank to sunlight. For the same reason, you should avoid any exposure of the cylinders to a temperature above 50°C, to an open flame, or to any other ignition source.

Propane gas tanks have a useful life of 10 years. Defective cylinders or those that are more than 10 years old must be removed from service and dropped off at a propane distributor, who will dispose of them safely.

It is also safe to dispose of the tanks during the Household Hazardous Waste Collection or by dropping them off at one of  Montreal Agglomeration Ecocentre. Never throw a propane cylinder in the garbage because even if it seems empty to you, it may still contain sufficient propane to cause an explosion.

The Régie du bâtiment du Québec offers valuable safety advice on the use, manipulation and transportation of propane tanks. In case of fire when using propane, it is strongly recommended that you:

  • Evacuate the premises immediately
  • Call the Fire Department
  • Not try to extinguish the flames unless you are able to turn off the cylinder valve
