Artificial turf not specifically addressed by Apopka ordinance for residential front yards. HOAs commonly restrict it. Pool, play area, and backyard use generally permitted. Stormwater drainage must be maintained.
Apopka does not broadly ban artificial turf but treats it through general landscape and stormwater standards. Product must allow infiltration or be graded to avoid concentrated runoff onto adjacent lots. HOAs across Orange County commonly restrict synthetic turf in front yards. Consider heat retention in Central Florida summers: synthetic surfaces can exceed 150°F. Florida-Friendly natural alternatives are encouraged for water savings and heat mitigation.
Drainage impact on neighbors: nuisance or stormwater violation. HOA restrictions enforced civilly, not by city.
