Yard rebates in Tacoma
6 programs can pay Tacoma residents for yard projects: 5 run by the city, the county or the utilities and districts that serve it, and 1 open to anyone in Washington. The largest, Pierce CD Green Stormwater Mini Grants, pays up to $4,000 per household. 3 ask for a plan or plant list before they approve a project.
Utility programs only apply to that utility’s customers, so check who supplies your water and power.
