Ventura permits artificial turf as a water-saving landscaping alternative. Standard residential installations do not require special permits beyond any normal grading work. Artificial turf may qualify for Ventura Water turf replacement rebate programs. AB 1535 and related California laws restrict HOA ability to prohibit synthetic grass installations that comply with manufacturer and industry standards. Quality artificial turf should meet ASTM standards and include proper drainage. The City's MWELO recognizes artificial turf as a low-water landscape option.
