Riverside County water agencies offer cash rebates to remove turf grass and install drought-tolerant landscaping, with the Coachella Valley Water District program among the most generous in California.
Coachella Valley Water District, Desert Water Agency, Western MWD, and Rancho California Water District participate in the Metropolitan Water District SoCal Water Smart program plus their own enhanced rebates. CVWD often pays two to three dollars per square foot of turf converted, with bonus tiers for HOA common areas. Pre-inspection, photos, and a finalized landscape plan using the Coachella Valley plant palette are required before turf removal. Synthetic turf is generally ineligible. Rebates apply to single-family, multifamily, and commercial properties.
Rebate claims may be denied or clawed back if turf is removed before pre-inspection or if non-approved plant material is installed.
