LP Gas - Florida Only Courses

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) is responsible for licensing individuals and businesses that sell, transport, dispense or store liquefied petroleum (LP) gas and that manufacturer, install, service or repair LP gas containers, systems, or appliances.  FDACS inspects facilities where LP gas is sold or stored and investigates accidents involving LP gas or equipment.

It is important to understand the requirements to avoid penalties from the state’s auditing process.  You can expect the following possible penalty as an example:

  1. Civil Penalties not to exceed $25,000 for each violation for each day that such violation persists. See Rule: 527.06 found in the Liquified Petroleum Laws and Rules (October 2020 Edition)

The business must purchase a license from the state to get started.  Click here to understand the different LP Gas license categories in our state.  Each category has its own application along with the cost of the business license.  (1yr / 2yr / 3yr license terms)

  1. The license application will dictate whether you are required to have a Master Qualifier and/or Qualifier based on your selection.
