    Florida has a similar limit (20lb, I think).  Different local
    governments are varyingly strict about it.  For, example, here in my
    county, they often cite apartment dwellers for having large tanks on
    grills on their upper floor balcony.  The reason stated in the
    building code is to prevent the tank from being transported through
    the structure (and they _don't_ cite tanks on decks with exterior
    stairs).
