Snohomish County has no ordinance prohibiting or specifically permitting artificial turf in residential yards. In required development landscaping, the code directs that non-vegetative materials be minimized, but there is no turf rule for ordinary homeowners.
No Snohomish County Code section bans or regulates synthetic/artificial turf on private residential lots. For new development, SCC 30.25.015 governs required landscaping and, in subsection (3), directs that use of bark, mulch, gravel, and similar non-vegetative material be minimized and used only to assist plant growth and maintenance or to visually complement plant material, and it caps such non-vegetative features at 20 percent of required perimeter and parking-lot landscaping. Artificial turf is not listed among approved landscape credits, so it generally cannot count toward required living landscaping, but installing it elsewhere on a residential lot is not prohibited by county code. Stormwater/drainage review (SCC Title 25) may apply to large impervious installations, and HOAs or cities may have their own
No county fine for installing artificial turf at home. Large impervious areas may trigger stormwater review under SCC Title 25.
