The SNWA pays $5 per square foot for the first 10,000 square feet removed, and $2.50/sq ft after that. LVVWD customers receive an additional $2/sq ft, bringing the total to $7 per square foot (up to 10,000 sq ft). The $100 per tree bonus applies to both provider types.
Yes. Artificial turf is a qualifying replacement. The grass must be replaced with water-efficient landscaping — artificial turf, decomposed granite, pavers, native desert plants, or xeriscape all qualify. We can help you choose the best option for your HOA and budget.
Nevada AB356 requires non-functional ornamental grass to be removed from commercial, government, and HOA-maintained properties by December 31, 2026. Grass watered with Colorado River water is specifically targeted. Removing your grass now means you can take advantage of the rebate and avoid potential fines — a double benefit.
Yes — and most homeowners do. You apply for the rebate through SNWA/LVVWD, then hire a licensed contractor to do the work. The rebate check comes from the water authority after inspection, which you can use to offset your project cost. We help you with the documentation and before/after photos required for approval.
Typical timeline: Apply online (same day) → approval letter (1–2 weeks) → complete project → submit paperwork → inspection scheduled (1–3 weeks) → rebate check mailed (4–6 weeks after inspection). Total: usually 8–12 weeks from application to check.
There is no hard square footage cap, but the higher rate ($5–$7/sq ft) applies only to the first 10,000 square feet. After 10,000 sq ft, the rate drops to $2.50–$4.50/sq ft. There is also a per-property, per-fiscal-year limit. For large commercial properties, contact SNWA directly to discuss your project.
