Waterwise (xeriscape) landscaping is protected by Utah law; HOAs cannot prohibit it. Turf rebates up to $3/sq ft available.
Under Utah SB 109 (2022), SB 110, and HB 282, municipalities and HOAs cannot prohibit waterwise landscaping or require turf grass beyond minimal amounts. South Jordan's zoning code has been updated to align with state law — front-yard landscapes may feature drought-tolerant plants, decomposed granite, rock mulch, and drip irrigation. Utah Water Savers (administered by Utah Division of Water Resources with JVWCD partnership) offers Flip Your Strip and Landscape Incentive rebates of up to $3.00 per square foot for qualifying turf replacement. Plans must meet coverage and plant-density standards for rebate eligibility.
