Virginia statute encourages rainwater harvesting and graywater reuse, providing income tax credits and exempting most residential systems from plumbing-permit complexity, applied uniformly statewide.
Va. Code § 58.1-439.12:04 created an income tax credit (now expired but referenced in pending legislation) for rainwater harvesting equipment. Va. Code § 32.1-248.2 directs the Board of Health to adopt regulations promoting alternative water source systems including rainwater. The Uniform Statewide Building Code (§ 36-97 et seq.) governs any plumbing connections, preempting local rules that would prohibit residential rainwater collection for outdoor non-potable use.
No state penalties for residential outdoor rainwater capture. Plumbing code violations follow USBC fine schedule, typically $100-$500.
