Palmetto Toilet Rebate Program

CITY OF PALMETTO
TOILET REBATE PROGRAM


The City of Palmetto toilet rebate program is intended to reduce the amount of potable (drinking) water used for flushing toilets. This program offers a financial incentive in the form of a rebate for purchasing a new, lower gallon per flush toilet.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

You may be eligible for a rebate of up to $100 per toilet (limit 2 toilets per property) if you:

  • Are replacing a toilet that was installed prior to 1995 (3.5 gallons per flush or higher)
  • Receive your water from the City of Palmetto Water Department.
  • Purchased the new toilet after January 1, 2023.

 HOW DO I APPLY FOR A TOILET REBATE?

 Single-family, multi-family or commercial customers may apply by
Phone: (941) 417-2890
or
Email: ToiletRebate@palmettofl.org

Application and related forms are on the right sidebar.

 All toilets for which rebates are applied may be verified by an on-site confirmation that a new ultra-low flow toilet of 1.28 GPF (Gallons per Flush) or less toilet for residential or commercial accounts has been installed and is replacing a 3.5 GPF or greater toilet.

Do not dispose of the old toilet prior to verification.

Free curbside pickup of the old high-flow toilet is available when placed curbside on your normal garbage day.

This program is cooperatively funded by the City of Palmetto and SWFWMD. For more information on the toilet rebate program, call the City’s Toilet Rebate line at (941) 417-2890.
