Is a permit required to install a gas tank?

Propane gas is stored in tanks that vary in size and shape depending on user needs. Gas tanks are designed according to strict engineering and safety requirements so that they can be safely installed and used. However, there are several laws and regulations that regulate the placement of gas tanks.

The permit requirements for placing a gas tank depend on local laws and the size of the tank. A permit is required when placing tanks with a water capacity of 13,000 liters or more and or placing more than 2 tanks on one parcel. A permit is also required if liquid is to be extracted from the tank instead of vapor. Please check with OK GAS whether a permit is required for your specific situation.

Make sure the tank is placed at a safe distance from buildings and other flammable materials. Install the gas tank on a stable and level surface.
Follow OK GAS' recommendations for proper installation and maintenance of the tank.
