What stormwater management practices are eligible for rebates?

Yes, however you may be eligible to reduce your fee by implementing best management practices that treat impervious areas on your property. Practices eligible under the Rain Check Rebate Program will help reduce the amount of impervious cover on a particular property, which in turn may keep your Clean Water Act Fee lower. Please call 301-883-5810 for more information.

The Rain Check Rebate Program allows property owners to receive rebates for installing stormwater management practices to reduce pollution from stormwater runoff. Eligible applicants can recoup some of the costs for installing approved practices covered by the program. This rebate program was established in 2012 through County Bill (CB-40-2012), and revised in 2014 (CB-86-2014) to clarify the procedures for establishing and implementing the program and subsequent rebates to property owners. The program is administered by the Department of the Environment (DoE).

An applicant is eligible for a rebate as long as:

1). The project is implemented on property located in Prince George’s County*

2). The application for the project was approved within 12 months of the completion date

3). DoE inspected the completed project and found it to be in compliance with its original approved application

4). The project follows DoE best practice guidelines and criteria for that type of project

*The City of Bowie manages its stormwater program independently of the County. Therefore, properties within the City of Bowie are not eligible. The Town of Cheverly, Town of University Park, and the City of College Park offer their own tree rebate programs and therefore properties within these Towns and the City are eligible for all projects except for urban tree canopy projects.
