Rock County has no countywide ordinance regulating artificial turf. Whether synthetic grass is allowed, and any coverage or stormwater conditions, is decided by your city, village or town zoning, not the county.
There is no Rock County code section governing artificial or synthetic turf on residential yards. In Wisconsin this falls under local zoning and property-maintenance rules, which vary by municipality. Cities and villages may treat turf as an impervious or semi-pervious surface that counts toward lot coverage or stormwater limits, may require it be kept in good repair, or may restrict it in front yards. In the unincorporated towns that have adopted county zoning under Wis. Stat. 59.69, general lot-coverage standards could indirectly apply, but there is no specific synthetic-turf rule. Confirm with your municipal zoning or building office before installing.
Any enforcement is municipal, typically through zoning or property-maintenance code; remedies range from correction notices to removal of noncompliant installations.
