Application Steps  [hide this]

The Xeriscape Incentive Program (XIP) for HOA and Commercial properties promotes projects that convert high-water use landscapes to regionally adapted water-wise landscapes. If awarded, customers may receive $1.50/square foot of area converted, up to $15,000 per project. A limited number of grants will be awarded. Distribution of grant funds will require awardees to submit invoices documenting project expenses. Water Conservation will hold 25% of funding until the awardee submits final project completion report. Visit fcgov.com/xipXL for a comprehensive summary of the grant and evaluation criteria.
