Irrigation rebates in Florida

13 programs in Florida pay residents for irrigation upgrades. 9 list themselves as open now, and the median maximum is $500 per household. 8% ask for a plan, sketch or plant list before they approve a project.

These programs cover part or all of the cost of a weather-based or soil-moisture controller, a drip conversion, rotary nozzles or a rain sensor. Most require a WaterSense-labeled product and a receipt, and some send a technician to install it for free.
