AB-1572 prohibits using potable water to irrigate non-functional turf at commercial, institutional, and HOA-common areas, accelerating native and low-water landscape conversions statewide.
Water Code sections 10608.14 and 10610-10610.4 phase in a ban on potable water irrigation of non-functional turf on commercial, industrial, institutional, and HOA-controlled common areas, taking full effect by 2031. The Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Gov Code 65591) sets statewide minimum efficiency for new landscapes and requires climate-appropriate plant palettes. Civil Code section 4735 prevents HOAs from forbidding low-water or California-native landscaping.
State Water Board may enforce against suppliers; HOA penalties for native plantings are unenforceable under Civil Code 4735.
