Is It Illegal to Collect Rainwater?

Short answer, NO. For any state other than Colorado, rainwater harvesting is LEGAL.

Even Colorado allows 2 - 50 gallon rain barrels.

Another example often giving is a person in Oregon who built 3 PONDS on his property without getting permits. Dam permits are required in most states, so that's not unusual.

Other than that, rainwater harvesting is permitted, even encouraged. Providing that you get the required building permits and follow building codes.
