Arizona actively encourages rainwater harvesting. HB 2675 prevents HOAs from prohibiting rainwater collection systems. Marana supports rainwater harvesting as a water conservation strategy, and no permits are required for standard residential rain barrels and cisterns.
Arizona is one of the most rainwater-harvesting-friendly states. HB 2675 (ARS 33-1808) prohibits HOAs from banning rainwater harvesting systems on residential properties. Marana supports rainwater collection as part of its water conservation approach in the Sonoran Desert. No town permit is required for standard residential rain barrels and cisterns. Larger systems connected to plumbing may require building permits. The Marana Land Development Code encourages water-harvesting features in new development landscape plans. Arizona offers a state income tax credit for water-harvesting systems under certain conditions. Pima County also promotes rainwater harvesting through its Regional Flood Control District and may offer rebates or technical assistance for residential installations.
No penalties for rainwater harvesting. HOAs that attempt to ban harvesting systems violate ARS 33-1808.
