Frequently asked questions about propane tank & delivery in Hays County
How much does a residential propane tank cost in Hays County?
Above-ground 500-gallon tanks (typical for rural homes with propane furnace + water heater + range) run $1,800–$3,500 purchased, or $0 leased from a supplier who charges 15–30¢/gallon markup on refills. Below-ground tanks add $1,500–$3,000 for excavation and anodes. Most Hays County acreage buyers lease to avoid the upfront cost and get first-fill discounts.
Should I buy or lease my propane tank?
Buy if: you want to shop suppliers for the lowest per-gallon price on refills. Lease if: you want zero upfront cost, and you're willing to lock in with one supplier for fills. Owned tanks let you shop 3+ suppliers for each refill and typically save 15–40¢/gallon over lease pricing. But leased tanks come with free maintenance, no anode replacement, and simpler resale of the home.
How often do propane tanks need to be inspected?
Texas Railroad Commission rules require certified propane suppliers to inspect leased tanks annually. Owned tanks are the owner's responsibility but should be inspected every 3–5 years by a licensed LP-Gas technician. Every propane service provider on this page holds an active RRC LPG license.
What size propane tank do I need for a rural home?
For an all-propane home (heat, hot water, cooking, backup generator) on 1–10 acres in Hays County: a 500-gallon tank covers most needs with 1–2 refills per year. For homes with propane heat plus fireplace, upgrade to 1,000 gallons to weather ice storms and price spikes. Undersized tanks (250 gal or less) mean monthly refills and higher per-gallon costs.
