Florida law preempts city bans on synthetic turf for single-family residential lots one acre or smaller. Dunedin must allow artificial grass meeting state-defined material standards, though setback and stormwater rules still apply.
Effective in 2024, Florida HB 1191 amended state law to prohibit local governments from banning synthetic turf installation on single-family residential properties of one acre or less. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection adopts minimum material and installation standards covering color, permeability, lead content, flammability, and stormwater management. Synthetic turf must consist of green lifelike blades, be lead free and flame retardant, and exclude rubber infill. Dunedin retains authority over stormwater drainage, setbacks, and use on multifamily or commercial parcels exceeding one acre, and may still enforce its tree protection and impervious-surface requirements where applicable.
Code enforcement for substandard installations, drainage violations, prohibited rubber infill, or installation on parcels above one acre without approval.
