Rock County sets no separate propane ordinance; storage follows Wisconsin's gas-systems code (SPS 340) and NFPA 58. Typical rules place a 125-to-500-gallon above-ground tank at least 10 feet from any building and property line, with larger tanks set back farther.
Propane container placement in Rock County is governed by Wis. Admin. Code Ch. SPS 340 (Gas Systems), which adopts NFPA 58 for LP-gas containers. Under those standards, above-ground tanks of 125 to 500 gallons must sit at least 10 feet from any building and any property line, while 1,000-to-2,000-gallon tanks need 25 feet. Small containers under 125 gallons can be placed next to a building with restrictions on distance from openings and ignition sources. Underground tanks must be buried at least 6 inches below grade (18 inches near vehicle traffic). Installation is inspected under state code; check with your local fire authority for any added requirements.
Improper placement is a state code violation corrected through the DSPS/local inspector; suppliers will not fill non-compliant tanks. Fines follow the SPS enforcement process.
