Wisconsin Weights and Measures LPG meter laws were changed in 2009. LPG meters are defined as commercial meters used to measure liquefied petroleum gas sold or delivered to a consumer. (A consumer is anyone who buys LP to use rather than resell.)

The license period for LPG meters is December 1st – November 30th.  The annual license fee per meter for license year Dec. 1, 2011- Nov. 30, 2012 is $40. The fee per meter increases to $60 for license year Dec. 1, 2012- Nov. 30, 2013. The fee is not prorated for partial years, and licenses are not transferable between operators or meters.
