RainScapes

Special Notice: Due to high demand for the RainScapes Rewards Rebate Program and the number of current applications to process, the program will take a planned pause from August, 1, 2021 to October 15, 2021. No new applications will be accepted between these dates. The application portal will re-open on October 16, 2021. We are committed to working with those applications we have already received and will continue to do so through the pause.

A RainScape is a landscape or design technique that helps reduce stormwater runoff from individual properties. They include:

RainScapes can be installed on any kind of property, but those on private residential, institutional, and/ or commercial properties may be eligible for financial assistance: RainScapes Rewards Rebates.

The RainScapes program also offers technical and financial assistance to encourage property owners to implement RainScapes techniques on their property.

To all of our RainScapes participants,

We are working to continue the RainScapes program during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, due to the Stay at Home mandate, the RainScapes Program will not be conducting on-site inspections.

At this time, all preliminary inspections will involve using a video call on smart phone or tablet. If you do not have that capacity, please email us at: RainScapes@montgomerycountymd.gov.

Until further notice, all final inspections will only be done virtually. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
