Yard rebates in Monterey

5 programs can pay Monterey residents for yard projects: 4 run by the city, the county or the utilities and districts that serve it, and 1 open to anyone in California. The largest, MPWMD Lawn Removal Rebate, pays up to $2,500 per household.

Utility programs only apply to that utility’s customers, so check who supplies your water and power.
