Non-functional Turf Waiver Request

A law passed in 2021 requires the removal of “useless,” or purely decorative, grass throughout the Las Vegas Valley by the end of 2026. The law does not apply to grass in homeowners’ yards, or to grass used for recreation at schools and parks.

Nonfunctional turf provides no recreational value, is largely decorative, or not safe to access and use. It is found throughout Southern Nevada, within business complexes and neighborhoods, schools, parks, government facilities, along community streets, and in traffic circles and medians.

If you feel your area of turf substantially complies with the functional turf definitions and provides value to your community, please complete this waiver request.

You will need:

• A notarized Authorized Signer Agreement, completed by the person who has signing authority for the property, and who will sign all documents related to the conversion.
• A general idea of the conversion area, to be drawn on a map as part of this application.
• To choose one or more waiver options and answer the questions provided.

Program conditions:

You must review and agree to these program conditions to qualify for the rebate. Please read these conditions carefully as they are contractually binding.
