How is your lawn watered?
Check your utility bill if you’re not sure.
What are you hoping to do?

With one-day-a-week watering in place through March 31, 2027, a yard that needs less water makes more sense than ever. These are separate programs, not one statewide rebate, so the right one depends on your address and who supplies your water.
Up to $3,000 reported for converting up to 500 sq ft of irrigated grass. Three workshops required.
Workshop-led reimbursement of qualified expenses. 2027 workshops planned March 13, April 17 and May 22.
The former program offered up to $2,000 but isn’t accepting applications right now.
A free UF/IFAS irrigation evaluation, plus regional sprinkler rebates for eligible customers.
Rebates on nozzles, spray bodies, rain sensors and controllers, and a separate smart controller program worth up to $250.
Up to 50% of eligible water-saving project costs, reviewed and pre-inspected before work begins.
Planning the project is where we come in. Millennium designs and installs Florida-friendly landscapes with plants from our own 20-acre nursery in Odessa, our own hardscape crews and our own irrigation specialists, so a lawn conversion, new beds and a sprinkler retrofit can all happen as one plan. See our residential landscaping and irrigation services.
Yes, two separate ones. The City of Tampa runs a Florida-Friendly Landscaping turf-conversion program with a reported rebate of up to $3,000 for converting up to 500 square feet of irrigated grass. Unincorporated Hillsborough County runs its own workshop-led program that reimburses qualified expenses; the county hasn't published a dollar cap. Both require workshops before you start.
Pinellas County's former turf-conversion pilot is not accepting applications. Pasco County doesn't have a verified countywide turf-replacement rebate, but Pasco residents can request a free irrigation evaluation from UF/IFAS Extension, and eligible potable-water customers in all three counties may qualify for Tampa Bay Water Wise sprinkler and smart controller rebates.
Tampa Bay Water Wise lists rebates for a sprinkler-system evaluation (up to $100), high-efficiency rotary nozzles ($5 each), pressure-regulated spray bodies ($10 each), rain sensor installation or repair ($50), a WaterSense weather-based controller ($100) and capping unneeded heads ($3 each). It's for existing single-family homes irrigating with potable water from participating utilities, using a listed licensed irrigation contractor.
A regional Customizable Rebate may cover up to 50% of eligible costs for HOAs, CDDs, commercial and multifamily properties, for projects like irrigation controls, conversions to microirrigation and Florida-Friendly landscape renovation. The program reviews the proposal and pre-inspects before any work begins.
No. Most programs require workshops, prequalification or a pre-inspection first. Confirm your eligibility and get approval before you buy materials or sign a contract, and keep every receipt and invoice.
Rebates are administered by public agencies and utility programs, and their funding, eligibility and rules can change without notice. This page and the Rebate Book are educational. Millennium does not guarantee eligibility, approval or reimbursement, and isn’t representing that it is an approved participating contractor for any particular program. Confirm the requirements directly with the program before you spend money or start work. Program details checked November 8, 2026.
