For Property Managers

Operators of rental properties in Maple Plain should be aware that ch. 4, art. 13 § 4-581 prohibits LP, gasoline, and kerosene tanks from being stored anywhere inside a structure. Compliant property managers typically inspect storage areas to confirm that no such tanks are kept in interior spaces, and communicate this requirement clearly to tenants in lease agreements or property rules. Maintaining outdoor-only storage areas that are accessible and suitable for fuel tanks can help support ongoing compliance.
