6 programs can pay St. Petersburg residents for yard projects: 4 run by the city, the county or the utilities and districts that serve it. The largest, Pinellas County Florida-Friendly Landscaping Incentive Program, pays up to $2,000 per household.
Utility programs only apply to that utility’s customers, so check who supplies your water and power.
