Osceola County does not ban residential artificial turf, but it is not a Florida-Friendly Landscaping category and receives no special state protection. Development-site landscaping and any HOA covenants may set standards on synthetic turf.
There is no countywide Osceola prohibition on residential synthetic turf in unincorporated areas. Unlike native and drought-tolerant plantings, artificial turf is not covered by the Florida-Friendly Landscaping protections of FS 373.185, so an HOA is free to restrict or ban it through deed restrictions. For development and commercial projects, the county Land Development Code landscape and buffer standards generally require living landscape material, so synthetic turf usually will not satisfy required-landscaping calculations. Homeowners should confirm any drainage, permeability, or setback conditions before a large installation and check HOA rules first.
No county fine for residential synthetic turf; HOA covenants and Land Development Code landscape standards are enforced by those respective bodies.
