Rainwater harvesting is encouraged in Frisco and protected statewide under Texas Property Code 580.004. HOAs cannot prohibit rain barrels on private property.
Texas Property Code 202.007 and Health and Safety Code 341.042 protect rainwater harvesting installations from HOA bans, though HOAs may regulate appearance and placement. Frisco offers rain barrel workshops through NTMWD partnership. Systems over 5,000 gallons or connected to potable plumbing require permit and backflow prevention per TCEQ rules. No sales tax on rainwater harvesting equipment under Texas Tax Code 151.355.
