How to apply

  1. Confirm your water provider participatesCedar Park, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Leander, Lakeway, Bee Cave, and Dripping Springs typically qualify.
  2. Log in or create a free LCRA WaterSmart account
  3. Submit pre-approval before removing any turfWait for approval to start. Pre-approval is not required for compost, mulch, or irrigation items.
  4. Do the work, then collect receipts and before and after photos
  5. Submit the final application within 90 days of finishing

What you'll need

  • Your address and LCRA or utility account number
  • Square footage of turf removed (minimum 200 sq ft)
  • Itemized receipts showing cost and date
  • Before and after photos of the converted area
  • A W-9 if your total rebate is $600 or more

Pollinator Patch can help: It finds Lakeway natives for Edwards Plateau limestone soils, designs an HOA-friendly layout, and assembles a documentation packet to support your application.

Avoid these mistakes

  • Don't remove turf before LCRA approves your pre-application. Work started early may not qualify.
  • Don't miss the 90-day window. You have 90 days from finishing the work to submit the final application.
  • Don't convert less than 200 sq ft. That is the minimum healthy-turf area for the rebate.
  • Don't leave turf grass or automatic spray irrigation in the new bed. Drip irrigation is allowed.
  • Don't apply without itemized receipts and before and after photos, and include a W-9 if your total rebate is $600 or more.

Lakeway residents qualify for LCRA WaterSmart. No city-specific turf rebate.
