Tuolumne County does not regulate or restrict artificial turf installation on residential properties. The county's water-conscious Sierra foothill climate makes synthetic turf a practical option, though it is less common than in Southern California.
There is no Tuolumne County ordinance restricting artificial turf on residential properties. California's Solar Rights Act (Civil Code §714.1) and AB 1164 (2015) prohibit HOAs from banning synthetic turf, and the same principle applies to county regulations. Tuolumne County Waterworks District and local water providers encourage water conservation measures. The Sierra foothill climate receives more precipitation than Southern California, so turf replacement programs are less prominent. However, defensible space requirements may make artificial turf an attractive option near structures as it reduces fire risk compared to unmaintained natural vegetation.
No county restrictions on artificial turf. HOAs cannot ban synthetic turf per CA Civil Code §714.1.
