Largo cannot prohibit synthetic turf on single-family residential lots up to one acre that meet Florida Department of Environmental Protection standards under Florida Statute 125.572, though the city retains authority over commercial properties and design review.
Florida Statute 125.572 preempts local ordinances that ban or inconsistently regulate synthetic turf on single-family residential properties of one acre or less, provided the installation complies with FDEP minimum standards adopted under Chapter 62-822, F.A.C. This means Largo homeowners on standard residential lots may install qualifying synthetic turf without facing prohibition, although the city can still enforce setbacks, drainage, and stormwater management requirements that apply to any landscape change. Multi-family, commercial, and parcels larger than one acre remain subject to Largo's CDC Chapter 10 landscape review, which may require live plant material, buffer strips, and approved landscape plans.
No penalty for compliant single-family installations; non-compliant installations on commercial or multi-family sites can trigger CDC Chapter 10 enforcement and replacement orders.
