Section 2: Colorado Compliance

Navigating Colorado's
2026 Water Mandates

Starting January 1, 2026, Colorado SB24-005 prohibits "non-functional" turf on commercial and HOA properties. Fastgrass.ai specializes in keeping you compliant.

The "Functional" Pivot

We specialize in converting prohibited ornamental areas into Functional Landscape Zones which are exempt from SB24-005 restrictions.

  • Recreational spaces
  • Pet runs & dog parks
  • Community gathering areas
  • Sports & athletic fields

Fine Avoidance

Protect your property from municipal water-use penalties while maintaining premium curb appeal. Fines can reach $2,000+ per incident.

Typical Fine Scenarios:

First violation $500 - $1,000
Repeat violations $2,000+
HOA non-compliance Lien possible

Documentation

Fastgrass.ai provides the "Functional Use" certification required for your building and landscaping permits.

  • Site usage documentation
  • Permitting support letters
  • Compliance certificates
  • Annual compliance audits
