California coverage starts with Shasta County — not because it is the biggest market, but because it is the best-documented one. A local tracker there does pricing honesty properly, and this site follows its model.
The model market: Shasta County
The Shasta County tracker at propanepricetracker.com lists 18 refill stations and 13 refill prices across Anderson, Redding, Cottonwood, Bella Vista and surrounding Shasta County communities — and every price carries a “last verified” date. No other model we found combines local coverage with dated verification like that; a national site covering a single county is exactly the gap this site exists to close, at the same standard.
Counts as shown on propanepricetracker.com, checked Oct 2026. We cite the tracker's counts as its own; we do not reproduce prices we have not checked here beyond the verified data point below.
The math is the same everywhere: an exchange tank is typically filled to 15 lb while a refill fills your 20 lb tank fully (≈4.7 gallons). At the verified Anderson price of $2.98/gal, a full 20 lb refill works out to about $14.01 in propane — compare that with any flat exchange price before you swap. Full math: What does it cost to fill a 20 lb tank?

Additional California city pages are added only when a price can be verified or a station's refill service confirmed. If you refilled somewhere in California recently, report the price — your city page starts with your report, labelled unconfirmed until verified.
