Artificial turf allowed in McKinney single-family rear and side yards. Front-yard artificial turf subject to Zoning Chapter 146 landscape standards; some districts restrict it. HOA rules often apply and are not overridden by state law for artificial turf.
Texas Property Code 202.007 protects drought-resistant landscaping but courts have held artificial turf is not automatically covered. Check HOA CCRs. Artificial turf must be permeable or drained, UV-stabilized, and installed with proper base. Not counted toward required live landscape area in some zoning districts. Commercial properties must still meet minimum live plant material percentages.
Code violation for front-yard noncompliance: up to 500 dollars per day. HOA enforcement separate.
