Weld County sets no rule requiring or banning native or xeriscape plantings; it is a landowner choice. The City of Greeley encourages water-wise, drought-tolerant landscaping through its water conservation program but does not mandate native species for private yards.
Neither Weld County nor the City of Greeley imposes a native-plant requirement on private residential landscaping. Colorado has moved to protect water-wise choices statewide, and Greeley actively promotes xeriscape and drought-tolerant plants through its water conservation resources and watering rules. New commercial and multi-family development in Greeley must meet the city's landscaping standards (Development Code Title 18), which favor efficient plantings, but single-family homeowners are free to choose native, turf, or ornamental plants. Any real restriction on your plant palette is far more likely to come from a homeowners' association than from the county or city.
No county penalty exists for plant selection on a private lot. HOA covenants, not local ordinance, are the usual source of any native-plant or turf requirements.
