Before you start
Do not remove turf or begin work before you have written approval. This program requires pre-approval. Starting early can disqualify the project even if everything else is correct.
One secondary source listed a $1,000 cap; the Town and multiple sources list a $5,000 maximum. Confirm the current fiscal-year cap with the Town. Search "Turf Conversion Incentive" on queencreekaz.gov.

Always verify requirements, amounts, and eligibility directly with your water utility before starting work. Pollinator Patch is not affiliated with any rebate program and does not guarantee approval.
