TURF REMOVAL REBATE PROGRAM

There is still funding for the Turf Removal Rebate Program! 
Property owners may be eligible to receive a rebate of $1.00 
per square foot of turf that is removed. The maximum rebate 
is $1,000 per property owner. 

Applications are available at City Hall, and applications will 
be processed on a “first come, first served basis.” There is a 
total of $48,000 in grant funds available. To be eligible, rebates 
are only available for turf removed from private property yard 
areas visible from the street. Rebates do not apply to parkways 
or back yards. The rebates are not retroactive, meaning that the 
program does not apply to properties where turf has already 
been removed. There are additional regulations, which are 
available in full at City Hall and on the City’s website. 

Applications are available on the City’s website at www.
cityofsierramadre.com, but applications must be submitted in 
person to City Hall. Emailed or faxed applications will not be 
accepted. 

For additional information, please visit City Hall on Monday 
to Thursday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, or call (626) 355-7135.
