How the Clear Creek turf conversion rebate works

Clear Creek Conservation District, which covers Johnson and Sheridan Counties in northern Wyoming, runs a Water-Wise Landscape Turf Conversion Cost-Share Program. It reimburses 70 percent of the cost of converting an area of turf grass into a water-wise landscape, up to a maximum of $2,500 per property. The converted area must be at least 300 square feet. A property can use the program once every five years.

The district requires a signed cost-share agreement before any construction begins; work started ahead of approval is not eligible. Reimbursement is paid against submitted invoices and receipts after the project is complete. If a homeowner does some of the work themselves, in-kind labor counts toward the project cost at $25.00 an hour, capped at 30 percent of the total project cost.

Who this program is for

The program serves homeowners and businesses within Clear Creek Conservation District boundaries, which include Buffalo, Sheridan, and the surrounding area. Clear Creek is a standing, recurring program rather than a one-time grant round, though the district has published specific application deadlines in past cycles (most recently May 15, 2026, which has already passed as of this writing). Contact the district directly to confirm the current cycle before starting a project.

See the Wyoming rebates page for the current application link and program details.
