Artificial turf is allowed on Islip private property subject to building-permit review when installed over 500 sq ft or tied to drainage systems. Front-yard installations must comply with stormwater and impervious-cover limits in Chapter 68A.
Large artificial-turf fields for homes, schools, or athletic use trigger site-plan review. Suffolk County has considered but not enacted a county-wide ban on crumb-rubber infill; installations using organic or sand infill are preferred. Stormwater management must account for reduced infiltration. Wetland-adjacent and Pine Barrens CGA lots face stricter review. HOAs may restrict turf separately in deed-restricted communities.
Unpermitted large installation: stop-work, $250-$1,000, and possible removal. Drainage violations: stormwater penalty plus remediation order.
