Hollywood FL does not prohibit artificial turf. Florida Statute 163.3205 protects drought-tolerant landscaping from local bans. HOA restrictions are limited by state law. No permit is typically required for artificial turf installation alone. The turf must be maintained to avoid blighting conditions.
The City of Hollywood does not have a specific ordinance prohibiting or regulating artificial turf on residential properties. Florida Statute 163.3205 (Florida-Friendly Landscaping) prohibits local governments and HOAs from banning drought-tolerant landscaping. Artificial turf installations should ensure proper drainage and not create standing water. The appearance must be maintained to avoid code enforcement action for blighting conditions under the city's property maintenance standards. No building permit is typically required for artificial turf installation alone, but drainage modifications may require permits.
Poorly maintained artificial turf creating blighting conditions may be cited under property maintenance codes.
