Legal

XeriscapeRebate.com is an independent informational tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any water utility, water district, municipality, county, state agency, or federal government body.

References to program names (such as “SoCal Water$mart,” “SNWA Water Smart Landscapes,” “LADWP Turf Replacement,” or others) are used for descriptive identification only and do not imply endorsement, partnership, or sponsorship.

This site is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Use of this site is at your own risk.

Dollar estimates shown on this site are approximations only, calculated from publicly available program information and the square footage you enter. They are not rebate offers, pre-approvals, or guarantees of any amount.

Rebate programs change frequently — rates, caps, eligibility rules, income requirements, funding availability, and application windows can all change without notice. XeriscapeRebate.com makes reasonable efforts to keep data current but cannot guarantee that information reflects the current state of any program.

Always verify current rates, eligibility, and program availability directly with your water utility before starting any work or submitting an application. Starting turf removal before receiving written pre-approval results in automatic disqualification from most programs — no exceptions.

XeriscapeRebate.com is not liable for any discrepancy between estimates shown on this site and actual rebate amounts awarded, for program changes that are not yet reflected in site data, or for any costs, losses, or disqualifications arising from reliance on information shown here.

Rebates received from water utilities may constitute taxable income under federal and state tax law. IRS guidance (including Rev. Rul. 76-96) generally treats utility rebates as gross income unless a specific exclusion applies. Some states have enacted exclusions for water conservation rebates; others have not.

XeriscapeRebate.com does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice. Consult a qualified tax professional to determine whether a rebate you receive is reportable income in your specific situation.

This site has no financial or operational relationship with any water utility, water district, state water board, municipal government, or rebate program administrator. We do not process applications, handle rebate payments, or communicate with utilities on behalf of users.

Links to utility websites and application portals are provided for convenience only. XeriscapeRebate.com is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of any external site.
