Dallas County does not run a turf replacement rebate, but member cities and water utilities including Dallas, Frisco, and Plano offer SmartScape and turf-conversion incentives. Programs are voluntary and aim to reduce summer irrigation demand.
Through partnerships with NTMWD and Dallas Water Utilities, several Dallas County cities offer rebates of 25 cents to 1 dollar per square foot for converting cool-season turf to drought-tolerant landscaping or permeable hardscape. Programs typically require pre-approval, photos, native or adapted plant lists, and irrigation conversion to drip. The state allows artificial turf, but local HOA rules vary. The county itself implements xeriscape principles on county facility grounds and supports the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Earth-Kind program. There is no mandatory turf removal in Dallas County.
Because programs are voluntary, there are no penalties for failing to participate. Property owners who falsify rebate applications may be required to repay rebates plus fees, and homeowners who violate HOA landscaping rules face HOA enforcement separately.
