WASD offers conservation rebates for replacing high-water-use turf with Florida-friendly landscaping, micro-irrigation, and rain sensors in unincorporated Miami-Dade and participating cities.
The Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department administers a Water-Wise rebate program that pays residential and commercial customers for converting irrigated turf to drought-tolerant native landscaping that meets Florida-Friendly Landscaping principles. Rebates also cover installation of rain sensors, soil moisture sensors, and micro-irrigation retrofits. Applicants must apply before starting work, submit a landscape plan, and pass post-installation inspection. State law (FL Statute 373.185) protects Florida-Friendly Landscaping from HOA prohibitions, though community design review may still apply. The program prioritizes replacing St. Augustine grass with native ground covers.
Misrepresenting installation or removing approved plantings within the program retention period may require rebate repayment plus administrative penalties.
