Total cost was around $13k with ~$3k being for the propane tank & installation. [For us the cost is well worth the "peace of mind"]. From a purely financial point of view it doesn't make sense unless you have a situation where you cannot go without power.

Next I would state, if the OP has a concern like this "I'm thinking about getting one installed and the removal requirement would be a factor in my decision." he/she should ask the proper authority.

Lastly - I spent the time to look for the story (all of 15 seconds) on the "other news outlet" as a poster called it. Here is what I found by typing "generator" in the search box: By Meta Minton - July 19, 2019


"A courtyard villa owner sought permission to install a generator for her husband who is on dialysis.

Debra Watson, who lives in the Lime Grove Villas in the Village of Poinciana, sought an accommodation under the Fair Housing Act and made her case Friday morning before the Community Development District 5 Board of Supervisors.

She sought permission to install the whole-house generator, although it would be located closer to the property line than would normally be allowed.

Supervisor Walter Martin was concerned about the noise level that the neighbors might face, but Watson said the generator would be next to the side of a neighbor’s home that doesn’t have any windows.

“The neighbor is in favor of this and has offered to write a letter of support,” Watson said.

The generator would only run when necessary due to a power outage or monthly testing.

The board approved her request, but with the stipulation that the generator be removed if the home is sold."

Well, there it is.
