Why This Matters Now

While AB 1572 compliance will roll out over the next few years, turf conversion rebates are already changing:

  • Rebate rates have been reduced
  • Rebate applications must be submitted by February 28, 2026
  • Rebate funding is limited and not guaranteed

Early planning allows property owners and managers to understand the law, prepare responsibly, and secure available rebate dollars before they are depleted.

What AB 1572 Means

AB 1572 limits the use of potable water on nonfunctional turf, defined as decorative grass not used for recreation.

Potable water may no longer be used to irrigate nonfunctional turf Applies to:

  • Commercial
  • Industrial
  • Institutional

  • HOA properties

Landscape and irrigation changes will be required over time
