Montgomery County has no ordinance addressing artificial turf. There is no county ban and no county permit. Whether synthetic turf is allowed, and any impervious-surface or stormwater limits, is set by your borough or township zoning and stormwater code under the PA Municipalities Planning Code.
Montgomery County does not regulate synthetic or artificial turf for residential yards, so there is no countywide ban or approval. Local control governs: under the PA Municipalities Planning Code, each borough or township can address artificial turf through its zoning, impervious-surface, and stormwater (MS4) ordinances. The most common local concern is stormwater, because some artificial-turf installations count as impervious or semi-impervious coverage and can trigger lot-coverage limits or a stormwater-management review if the installed area is large. For a typical residential yard, installing artificial turf generally needs no county approval, but you should confirm impervious-coverage and permit rules with your municipal building/zoning office, especially for large areas or installations with an impermeable base.
No county penalty. Municipalities may require a permit or stormwater review for large installations and can cite exceedances of local impervious-coverage limits under their zoning and stormwater ordinances.
