Spartanburg County and the City of Spartanburg have no ordinance specifically permitting or banning artificial turf for residential lawns. Installation is generally allowed, subject to stormwater, permit, and HOA rules.
Neither the Spartanburg County code nor the City of Spartanburg code addresses synthetic or artificial turf by name, so there is no dedicated restriction on installing it in a residential yard. General rules can still apply: large impervious or graded installations may fall under the county's stormwater/land-disturbance ordinance (Chapter 30, Article IV) or building permits, and any turf that deteriorates into an unsightly or debris-strewn condition could be cited under the applicable nuisance/property-maintenance rules. Homeowner association covenants frequently regulate or prohibit artificial turf, so check those first. Otherwise residents are generally free to use artificial turf.
No turf-specific penalty. Enforcement would come only through general stormwater, permit, or nuisance provisions if triggered.
