🏠 HOA Rules During Restrictions

Nonfunctional turf ban 2027.

If your homeowners association sends a violation notice for a dormant or brown lawn during the current restriction period, respond in writing citing the applicable law and include a copy of the Local's current restriction order. Most HOAs will rescind the notice once they are made aware of the legal protections in place. If the issue persists, contact your county’s code enforcement division for assistance.

Why These Restrictions Exist

Boulder City sits at the entrance to Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Residents can see the effects of drought firsthand, the "bathtub ring" on Lake Mead's walls shows where the water level once stood. Conservation is deeply personal here.

Rainfall Deficit: Lake Mead at historically low levels. Mojave Desert.

This deficit has accumulated over the current water year and represents a significant departure from historical averages for the Boulder City area. Water supply reservoirs and aquifer levels are well below seasonal targets, necessitating mandatory conservation measures.
