That depends on city codes and the size of the tank. We have 500 gallons and it is 100 feet. At the community center in town the 500 gallon tank is only 20 feet from the building. At the fire station it is less than 20 feet. I have seen 100 gallon tanks right next to the house, the same as the 100 pound tanks. You need to find out what is allowed in your town.

At least 10 feet with the ends of the tank pointing away from your house.

It varies depending on local codes. Here in Texas it's 10 feet (with the line buried 18 inches below grade) Check with your local propane service to find out.

can be up against the house, as long as vapor barrier between heat source and tank and more than 10 feet it should be ok
