    Information on our website has been reviewed to ensure a safe propane installation: Guidelines for Proper Propane Tank Installation for High Country Systems

    Plans must be submitted below. Once the plans are reviewed/approved AND any cost recovery/mitigation fees have been paid, TFD will sign-off the workflow in County’s system and add any fire flags/holds/notes that will be required. Propane installs require a rough inspection prior to backfill and a final prior to filling the tank. Rough AND Final inspections can be scheduled through our website- Inspections.
