Rockville’s RainScape Rebates program now offers cash rebates for removing pavement and replacing it with permeable pavers.
Eligible single-family homeowners and non-profits, including religious institutions, private schools, and homeowners’ associations, can receive rebates of up to $2,500 for replacing pavement with permeable pavers. The program offers $1,200, or $4 per square foot up to the $2,500 maximum, whichever is greater. Owners must replace a minimum of 100 square feet.
Replacing pavement with permeable pavers improves aesthetics, reduces stormwater runoff, filters pollutants from runoff and reduces the need for salt and de-icers in winter.
The RainScapes Rebates program also offers cash for landscaping with native plants and trees, installing rain barrels, replacing pavement with plants, and other projects that help green your backyard and reduce pollution. Applicants can receive up to $4,800 for completing a variety of projects. Applicants must retain and submit itemized receipts and/or final invoices for all project costs. The rebate amount cannot exceed documented costs.
