Artificial turf is generally allowed on private residential lots in Babylon subject to zoning code lot coverage and stormwater requirements. Installation counts toward impervious surface limits in some zoning districts. No outright ban, but Suffolk County Health Department monitors runoff and drainage impacts.
Babylon zoning code imposes maximum lot coverage limits that include artificial turf in some interpretations. Stormwater management plans may be required for larger installations (over 500 sq ft). Suffolk County has studied PFAS and microplastic concerns from synthetic turf. Front yard installations may require building permit or site plan review depending on district.
