No Yonkers ban on residential artificial turf. Installations over a certain size may require site plan or drainage review; stormwater runoff must be managed.
Yonkers has no ordinance prohibiting synthetic turf on private property. Large installations tied to athletic fields or commercial sites go through site plan review addressing drainage, heat, and runoff. For residential backyards, homeowners can install turf without a specific turf permit, though any associated grading, fences, or retaining walls may need separate permits.
