Artificial turf not specifically banned on residential lawns in White Plains, but stormwater, impervious surface, and front-yard landscape standards apply. Check site plan rules.
White Plains code does not expressly prohibit artificial turf on residential properties, but installations may count toward impervious coverage limits and must comply with stormwater management rules for larger projects. Front-yard landscape requirements and architectural review may discourage prominent artificial turf. HOAs may independently restrict.
Impervious coverage violation: zoning enforcement; stormwater: potential fines.
