Florida Water Rebates

Jacksonville, Florida Water Rebates

JEA, the utility serving Jacksonville, previously ran a Landscape Transformation rebate that paid residential water customers up to $1,000 to swap thirsty turf for Florida-Friendly plants and improve their irrigation. As of August 2026, JEA's current list of 13 residential rebates no longer includes Landscape Transformation, and the program's direct page no longer resolves. Call JEA at 904-665-6000 to confirm whether it has been discontinued or replaced before planning a project around it.

Landscape Transformation Rebate

Open the official program site (opens in new tab)

How to apply

  1. Confirm you are a JEA residential water customer with an in-ground irrigation system and backflow preventer
  2. Schedule a free JEA irrigation assessment to find savings and check your system
  3. Choose a JEA pre-qualified contractor, or call 877-278-3418 for the do-it-yourself path
  4. Reduce turf and install Florida-Friendly plants with irrigation upgrades
  5. Submit your project to JEA for the rebate of up to $1,000

What you'll need

  • JEA account number
  • Proof of ownership or property manager authorization
  • Before photos of the existing turf area
  • Plant list of the Florida-Friendly plants installed
  • Itemized receipts for plants and irrigation work

Pollinator Patch can help: It picks North Florida natives and Florida-Friendly plants suited to Jacksonville yards, designs an HOA-friendly layout that reduces turf, and builds your plant list and before-photo packet for the JEA submission.

Avoid these mistakes

  • Don't skip the irrigation requirement. You need an existing in-ground system and a backflow preventer to qualify.
  • Don't assume any plant counts. The conversion has to use Florida-Friendly plants and reduce turf, not just rearrange the yard.
  • Don't guess at the current rebate terms. Confirm amounts and steps with JEA before you start, since the program updates its details.
