Fillmore allows artificial turf installation on residential properties. California Government Code §65595 prevents cities from prohibiting water-efficient landscaping alternatives. Artificial turf may qualify for water district turf replacement rebates in the United Water Conservation District service area.
California Government Code §65595 prohibits cities from banning drought-tolerant landscaping, which supports artificial turf installation. Fillmore residents can replace natural grass with synthetic turf without a landscaping permit in most cases. Artificial turf must be properly installed with adequate drainage and a weed barrier. The United Water Conservation District and other local water agencies periodically offer turf replacement rebates for converting grass to low-water alternatives including artificial turf. HOAs cannot prohibit drought-tolerant landscaping under California Civil Code §4735. Artificial turf in front yards should be of reasonable quality to maintain neighborhood aesthetics. MWELO (Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance) compliance is not affected by artificial turf areas.
Poorly maintained artificial turf that creates a nuisance (deteriorated, creating drainage problems, or harboring debris) may be subject to property maintenance enforcement. No violations for properly installed and maintained artificial turf.
