Lawn Removal Incentive
How the program works
Customers may be eligible to receive $1 for every square foot of turf removed from the yard.
Example: Removing 1000 ft² of turf is eligible for $1000.00 rebate.
The first thing is to know is you'll want to have a plan for your yard with a good idea of the design you'll want. To be sure your plan will be approved, follow all of the rules listed below and try to make your yard more of a xeriscape type of design. It's best to check with your HOA before submitting your plan.
Make a detailed drawing with dimensions of your plan. Email the drawing to the Water Conservation Coordinator at waterconservation@brightonco.gov. Once the drawing is approved, the project construction can begin.
A list of everything required to receive the incentive:
All receipts from contractors
A list of materials purchased and the receipts to complete the project if it's a DIY
List of all plant types included in the project
Before and after pictures of the project
Once the project and physical inspection of the completed, a secure link will be provided to submit your W9 form. After the submission the check will be in process.
