Aurora does not prohibit artificial turf in residential areas. Installation should comply with general landscaping standards and drainage requirements. Illinois HOAs cannot unreasonably restrict water-saving landscaping alternatives.
Aurora does not have a specific ordinance prohibiting or regulating artificial turf in residential yards. Synthetic grass installation should comply with the general UDO landscaping standards including drainage requirements to prevent runoff onto neighboring properties. Artificial turf does not count toward active watering or water-saving rebate programs since Aurora does not currently offer turf replacement rebates like western US cities. Illinois law restricts HOAs from unreasonably prohibiting landscaping modifications. Proper base preparation and drainage are essential for installations in Aurora's clay-heavy soils.
Drainage issues from improper installation: code enforcement action. HOA restrictions: may be challengeable under IL law.
