Sacramento County allows artificial turf in Vineyard front and back yards. California Govt Code §53087.7 (AB 349) preempts local bans on synthetic grass at single-family homes. SMUD provides residential drought turf-replacement rebates.
California Government Code §53087.7 (added by AB 349, 2015) preempts local ordinances that prohibit artificial turf at single-family residences. Sacramento County does not prohibit synthetic turf. SMUD and the Sacramento Suburban Water District offer rebates for turf replacement under their conservation programs. Artificial turf installations may require a small structural permit if over 1,000 sq ft due to grading/drainage concerns. Turf must drain properly; standing water that breeds mosquitoes can be cited under SCC §6.20 vector-control rules.
Generally permissive. Stormwater/drainage violations from improperly installed turf could be cited under SCC Ch. 15.12.
