California AB 1572 (2023) phases out non-functional irrigated turf at commercial/industrial/institutional sites starting 2027, encouraging native and drought-tolerant landscaping. Sacramento County provides rebates for native landscape conversion.
California AB 1572 (Friedman, 2023) prohibits using potable water for non-functional turf at commercial, industrial, and institutional sites by Jan 1, 2027 (HOAs by 2028, all other commercial 2030). Residential parcels are exempt from AB 1572 but are encouraged via rebates. Sacramento County (via SMUD/SSWD) provides up to $3/sqft turf-removal rebates for residential conversion to drought-tolerant or native landscaping. Front-yard planting must comply with the Sacramento County Water-Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO) for projects 500+ sqft.
Residential noncompliance is voluntary - no penalties. Commercial site noncompliance with AB 1572 (post-2027): state administrative penalties.
