Dakota County has no artificial-turf ordinance. Whether synthetic lawn is allowed, and any coverage or drainage limits, is decided by your city's zoning and impervious-surface rules.
Synthetic turf on residential yards is not regulated by Dakota County. Rules, if any, come from your city zoning code, which may treat artificial turf as impervious or semi-pervious surface and count it toward lot-coverage or stormwater limits. Some cities restrict synthetic turf in front yards or require permeable backing and proper drainage so runoff does not burden the county storm-sewer system (Dakota County Ordinance No. 132) or a watershed district. Because Minnesota's managed-natural-landscape and native-plant policies favor living vegetation, check your specific city before installing large turf areas.
Cities enforce through zoning and stormwater codes; turf that exceeds lot-coverage limits or blocks drainage can require removal or a correction order.
