Utah Code §57-8a-231 protects homeowners' right to install water-wise landscaping. Utah County encourages Localscapes and Slow the Flow native plant designs given persistent Wasatch Front drought.
Utah Code §57-8a-231 prohibits HOAs from banning water-wise landscaping — including native and drought-tolerant plants — though HOAs may require a reasonable landscape plan. Utah County is in a severe drought zone; the Central Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD), Provo City, and Orem City all promote Localscapes and the state's Slow the Flow program with free native plant resources and rebates. The Utah Water Savers program offers Flip Your Strip rebates up to $3 per square foot for removing park strip turf and installing approved Utah native plants like Utah sweetvetch, Rocky Mountain penstemon, and blue grama grass. Provo Code §16.16 (water-efficient landscaping) and Orem's 2023 landscape ordinance require new park strips to use approved non-turf native plantings. Utah State University Extension maintains the official Utah native plant list. Invasive species like Russian olive and tamarisk must be removed under the Utah Noxious Weed Act (UT §4-17).
HOA violations of UT §57-8a-231: unenforceable, plus homeowner attorney fees. Provo/Orem non-compliance with new-build water-wise rules: permit hold, correction required. Failure to control noxious weeds: county weed-board abatement at owner expense.
