Invoice Requirements

A grass conversion rebates provides eligible residential and commercial customers with a rebate to replace existing turf grass with drought-tolerant landscaping, upgrade irrigation systems and replace existing irrigation controllers with WaterSense-labeled smart irrigation controllers.

As the contractor hired to complete the renovation project for a customer's grass conversion rebates, it is important that you understand the City’s requirements so the customer gets the most out of their grass-converion rebate.

For a rebate to be processed, the City must receive an itemized invoice for all landscape materials used, which includes plants, mulch, weed barrier and irrigation materials.

For the rebate to be processed for the project, the City must receive a fully itemized invoice with the following:

  • Your company name, contact information and State contractor’s C-27 license number
  • All labor and materials must separated and clearly marked
  • All materials must be listed with price and quantity for each
  • Project start date and finish date 
  • Grand total 
  • Date, type and amount of customer’s payment and whether it was paid in full
  • If customers participate in two or more rebates, itemized receipts should be provided for each rebate or one itemized receipt clearly separating labor and materials for each rebate. Customers who are participating in turf conversion cannot participate in irrigation upgrade rebate for the same area.
