Thank you kindly, DerBlitzkrieger.
In two counties in Maryland (that I know of, Prince George's and Montgomery), however they ARE REQUIRED in all new residential construction. As are french drains.
In fact depending on the complexity of a renovation to an existing residential structure, a retrofit can also be mandated.
Thanks Again. Researching this I also discovered that these counties also offer a significant tax credit for a sprinkler retrofit when not mandated.
