So im planning on brewing with this big 100 gallon stockpot and custom welded stand.. but ive been doing some reading and it seems like this might be a problem for the inspectors? What do i need to do to make this thing street legal?

The concerns have to do with noxious gasses primarily. The fact your open air burner will fill a room with carbon monoxide is the issue. You will need to put the burner in a fire box most likely. You will need to have the combustion gasses vented appropriately. It is probably much cheaper to purchase a purpose built vessel over retro-fitting an open air burner.
Natural Gas is not "safer" that propane, it is simply lighter and can therefore disperse to atmosphere easier. Propane can pool in low lying areas and pose an explosion hazard. You should not be releasing either NG or Propane to the atmosphere and should be burning it instead, making them about equally "safe".
