Do I have to remove my underground heating oil tank?

No, current state law does not require the homeowner to remove an underground heating oil storage tank. Tanks must be removed if they have been identified a leaking or have not been used for the previous twenty-four months.

Further, if you are selling your property, a buyer may have difficulty trying to secure financing if a tank exists. Please refer to the "Removing Your Underground Heating Oil Tank: A Homeowners Guide" for more information.
