Pembroke Pines does not have a specific ordinance banning or heavily restricting artificial turf on residential properties. The Land Development Code Chapter 155 governs landscaping standards. FL Statute 163.3232 prohibits local governments from banning drought-tolerant landscaping including artificial turf in many contexts. HOA rules may separately restrict artificial turf installation.
Pembroke Pines does not maintain a specific ordinance addressing artificial turf. Landscaping standards are set in Chapter 155 of the Land Development Code, which went into effect April 26, 2021. FL Statute 163.3232 (Florida-Friendly Landscaping) limits local governments' ability to restrict drought-tolerant landscaping alternatives. However, HOA deed restrictions may impose additional requirements on artificial turf installation. Any ground-level hardscaping changes that affect stormwater drainage may require permits. Artificial turf must be maintained in good condition to avoid property maintenance citations for blight or deterioration.
Poorly maintained artificial turf may be cited as a property maintenance violation. HOA violations are enforced separately.
