Each artificial turf rebate program has a separate rebate application form created and managed by the area’s water district agency. Visit their website to properly fill out and submit the form, as well as provide any necessary documentation.
Some of the applications will allow you to apply for multiple area-specific landscape rebates at once.
For instance, the City of San Bernardino’s Outdoor Conversation Rebate Program includes multiple options for making your landscape more water efficient. To apply for the turf replacement program, property owners must:
- Fill out the Outdoor Conversation Rebate Program application form, including a list of the materials to be used.
- Provide “before” pictures of the lawn area to be replaced.
- Submit the application and documentation to the SBMWD Rebate Program mailing address of PO Box 70, San Bernardino, CA 92402; applicants can also email the pictures to rebates@SMBWD.org.
- After pre-approval, send in “after” pictures and invoices or receipts to verify the materials used.
Estimating Your 2026 Artificial Turf Rebate
Before you start your artificial turf installation project, you can estimate approximately how much to expect in rebates.
To start, determine the square footage of the area you will cover with artificial turf. Multiply the square footage with the applicable square foot rebate rate, such as $3.00 per square foot in Madera.
