Correct. The tank must be buried. You have a choice of leasing or owning the tank. I bought mine. Propane is currently about $2.30 per gallon. There was a cost associated with running the piping to the generator, and an optional run for the gas stove we wanted.
All in, just over $10K. The installation of the generator and transfer switch required a permit. Another permit was required for the propane tank & piping, including a necessary pressure test to be certain there were no leaks.
If you were to live in a section of TV with piped natural gas (north of 466A, or in Fineey) the cost would be much closer to the $8k I noted earlier.
