Installing a propane tank

Due to high energy prices, propane tanks are increasingly being installed in homes. For safety reasons, both businesses and private individuals are required to report this. We can then check whether you comply with the safety and distance requirements. If you do not comply, you will receive advice on how to use the propane tank safely. So, do you want to start using a propane tank in your home? Then report it!

How do you file a report?  

• You must submit a notification (Activities Decree) at least 4 weeks in advance.
• The best way to do this is via the Omgevingsloket (Environment Desk).
• You provide a site plan (to scale) showing the propane tank (with its contents), the refueling station, the buildings within 25 meters, and the distances between them. 

The supplier or the person installing the propane tank often knows how to submit a complete notification. They can often do this for you.

What happens to your report?

The Rivierenland Environmental Agency (ODR) will assess the report. If there are any questions or uncertainties, the ODR will contact you.
