Artificial turf is allowed in Citrus Heights yards, and California Civil Code 4735 and AB 1572 further protect homeowners who choose synthetic grass for water conservation.
Artificial turf is permitted in Citrus Heights residential front and back yards subject to standard setback and drainage requirements. California Civil Code Section 4735 prohibits HOAs from enforcing CC and Rs that ban synthetic turf installed for water conservation, and recent amendments strengthen this protection. AB 1572 phases out potable water irrigation of non-functional turf at commercial, industrial, and institutional properties, making artificial turf an increasingly common replacement. Installations must provide adequate drainage to avoid runoff onto neighboring properties and should not be installed within the critical root zone of protected trees without arborist review.
