RIVERSMART ROOFTOPS GREEN ROOF
REBATE PROGRAM
The District recognized the technical and economic
benefits of green, or vegetated, roofs in the early 2000s
and began supporting their development through financial
incentives to building owners who use green roofs to
manage stormwater.
ELIGIBILITY
Owners of properties of all sizes, including residential,
commercial, and institutional properties are encouraged
to apply. For buildings with a footprint of 2,500 square feet
or less, funds are available to defray the cost of a structural
assessment. Additional funding may be available for features
that further advance environmental goals.
GREEN ROOF BENEFIT
The Department of Energy and Environment offers a
rebate of $10–$15 per square foot for voluntary installations
of green roofs around the District. The specific rebate
amount depends on whether the proposed green roof is
located within the combined sewer system ($10/sq.ft.) or
the municipal storm sewer system ($15/sq.ft.).
