Rebate for converting high-water-use lawns to low-water landscapes. Must convert an entire irrigation zone. Project plan submission, site consultation, and follow-up evaluation required. Complete within 90 days of approval, final deadline October 15.

Bend also offers rebates for indoor fixtures and irrigation equipment. The WaterWise Communities program offers up to $10,000 (50% of project costs) for commercial and multi-family landscape conversions.

Pays a tiered rate to remove grass and replace it with low-water-use landscape: $1.75/sq ft for 100-1,000 sq ft, $1.50/sq ft for 1,001-2,000 sq ft, and $1.25/sq ft for 2,001-3,000 sq ft, up to a $3,000 cap. All converted areas must be replaced with low-water-use landscape (City of Ashland Water Conservation; last verified June 2026).

Pays up to $1,000 when you replace your lawn with water-wise plants and mulch. Limited to Medford Water service-area customers; distinct from the Jackson SWCD stormwater rebate already in the directory (Medford Water Commission; last verified June 2026).

The City of Corvallis Public Works Streamside Plant Grant Program provides up to $300 worth of native riparian plants per fiscal year (July 1-June 30) to residents planting on or near an urban stream within the Corvallis Urban Growth Boundary. The City purchases and delivers the plants directly rather than reimbursing cash. Recipients sign a maintenance agreement (weeding, watering for 3-5 years, replacing dead plants) and participate in pre- and post-installation site visits (City of Corvallis Public Works; last verified July 2026).

Plants are provided in-kind (the City purchases and delivers them), not a cash reimbursement. Application deadline is typically late July each year; the official page did not show a year-stamped date for the current cycle - confirm before quoting a specific date.

Funds up to 75% of the cost of a rain garden, to a maximum of $5 per square foot or $5,000 total, whichever is less. Limited to private residential property within the City of Gresham Downspout Disconnect zone; begins with a site assessment scheduled through the district Senior Urban Conservationist (East Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District; last verified June 2026).

Geographically narrow - limited to the City of Gresham Downspout Disconnect zone.

A recurring annual discount of up to 35% on the stormwater portion of the city utility bill for managing rainwater on-site. Qualifying solutions include rain gardens, swales, landscaped areas, drywells, stormwater planters, ecoroofs, and trees. Registration is open to single-family, duplex, triplex, and quadruplex properties, and no site visit is required before processing a single-family registration. This is an ongoing bill credit, not a one-time cash rebate (City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services; last verified June 2026).

Recurring stormwater fee discount, not a cash rebate. Distinct from the EMSWCD rain-garden cost-share already in the directory.

Benton Soil and Water Conservation District awards up to $1,000 per project for native pollinator habitat, open to Benton County residents working on any amount of land, from yards to acreage. Private individuals may apply alongside community organizations, schools, and Tribal Nations. Applicants must be committed to not using pesticides on the project site, and a final report with receipts and photo documentation is required (Benton SWCD Jerry Paul Native Pollinator Conservation Grant pages; last verified July 2026).

A competitive annual grant with a published per-project ceiling, the same basis on which the NY HGCNY native plant garden grant qualifies. Distinct from Benton SWCD's separate Conservation Incentive Program, which still publishes no rate and remains an open lead. The district's own award line reads "2025-2026" while its timeline on the same page runs to June 2027; the $1,000 figure is consistent across both the award line and the application form field. Found during the 2026-07-31 discovery sweep.

Polk Soil and Water Conservation District awards up to $1,000 per project to fund native planting projects throughout Polk County, with no match required. Eligible project types named by the district include pollinator gardens, pollinator hedgerows, and rain gardens. The project must increase the use of native plants to benefit soil health, water quality, wildlife habitat, or pollinators (Polk SWCD Native Plant Grant information page; last verified July 2026).

No match is required, which is unusual for a conservation district grant. The 2026-2027 application window is open as of this sweep. Found during the 2026-07-31 discovery sweep.

The City of Newberg reduces the single-family stormwater management fee by a fixed published percentage for on-site improvements that exceed City design standards: 25% for a rain garden, 10% for a vegetated swale or infiltration planter, 10% for qualified on-site shade trees, 10% for a pervious patio or walkway, and 25% for an all-pervious driveway, in any combination up to a 35% maximum. The rain garden must be an on-the-ground type with an overflow feature; rain barrels are not accepted. No engineer certification is required for the rain garden, swale, or tree conditions (City of Newberg Stormwater Management Fee Credit Manual for Developed Single Family Properties; last verified July 2026).

Ongoing bill credit, not a cash rebate. Published as a percentage because the City does not publish the base single-family fee rate alongside the credit manual, the same treatment used for the Alexandria, Richmond, Roanoke, Harrisonburg, and Waynesboro credit entries. Applications are reviewed in two to four weeks and the adjustment is retroactive to the date the application was received. Found during the 2026-07-31 discovery sweep.
