Quick check

Do the main rules appear to fit?

Your answers stay in this page session. The program makes the final decision.

1. Is the property in the official service area or account group?

A city mailing address may not match a utility or watershed boundary.

2. Does the property need one of the approved project routes listed above?
3. Have you checked the approval rule before buying or starting work?

Many programs need before photos, an inspection, or written approval.

Answer each question for a cautious result.

The rules remain visible here even if the interactive check is unavailable.

The finished result

What project qualifies?

This program may support more than one approved project route. The program’s plan and written decision control which route applies to the property.

The existing landscape uses water more efficiently through approved equipment, maintenance, or soil improvements. The property gains approved living plants or habitat that saves water, protects soil, or improves water quality. Roof runoff is captured in an approved container and reused or released safely.

  • Drought-tolerant plants qualify only with irrigation removal in that area. Gravel is not listed.

Examples that do not qualify

Questions people ask

Is this a rebate for buying gravel or another material?

Can I start before applying?

Does appearing eligible guarantee funding?

No. Current status, funding, ranking, inspection, and final approval can still affect the outcome.

Who decides whether a material substitution qualifies?
