How to Get the Stormwater Grant Rebate

What you get

The City of Fishers reimburses up to 50% of eligible drainage-improvement project costs, including rain garden and native plant installs (also drain tile, sump pump re-routes, swale re-grading, bank stabilization, pond dredging, and floodplain management). Applicants must get grant approval before starting, pay upfront, and submit for reimbursement with 3 contractor quotes (or owner labor valued at $15/hr if self-performed) via the city’s Viewpoint Cloud portal.

What applying usually looks like

A general guide. Always confirm the exact steps on the official program page, since each provider runs its process a little differently.

1. 1

   Apply and get written approval first

   Submit your application to City of Fishers Department of Public Works (Water Quality Division) and wait for written approval before you remove any turf or start work. Starting early is the most common reason a rebate is denied.

2. 2

   Do the conversion

   Replace your lawn with the qualifying landscaping, following the eligibility requirements above.

3. 3

   Submit your claim

   After the work is done, submit your claim on the official program page. Confirm the exact forms, receipts, and any photos they require there, since those vary by program.
