Yard rebates in Tampa
3 programs can pay Tampa residents for yard projects: 3 run by the city, the county or the utilities and districts that serve it. The largest, Tampa Bay Water Wise Shallow Well Installation Rebate, pays up to $1,000 per household.
Utility programs only apply to that utility’s customers, so check who supplies your water and power.
