Arizona Water Rebates

Chandler, Arizona Water Rebates

The City of Chandler pays $1.50 per square foot for single-family residential customers who remove non-synthetic grass and replace it with city-approved low-water landscaping. The maximum rebate is $2,000 per property. As of January 1, 2026, the per-square-foot rate was reduced from $2.00 to $1.50 and the maximum from $3,000 to $2,000 when the City Council extended the program. Rebates are awarded first come, first served from the date a completed application is received.

Common steps for every program in this guide

  1. Download and complete the rebate application. Get the Single-Family Grass Removal Rebate application at chandleraz.gov or by calling 480-782-3580. Fill out the property information, estimated square footage of grass to remove, and proposed replacement materials. Your application date determines your position in the first-come, first-served queue.
  2. Submit your completed application and wait for approval before starting work. Submit the completed application to Chandler Water Conservation. The rebate is not retroactive — grass removed before your completed application date does not qualify. Wait for written confirmation before purchasing materials or starting removal.
  3. Complete the grass removal and landscaping installation. Remove all non-synthetic grass from the approved area and install the city-approved replacement landscaping as described in your application. Keep receipts and photographs of the work.
  4. Request a post-installation inspection and submit for rebate payment. Contact Chandler Water Resources to schedule the post-installation inspection. After the inspector verifies the completed conversion, the rebate payment will be processed. The rebate is calculated at $1.50 per verified square foot, maximum $2,000.
