Tree Species
Quantity of Trees
Trees must be planted within 10 to 35 feet of the foundation on the customer’s private property (preferably on the south or west side) and may not be planted on City property or within the public right-of-way.
All trees must be planted in a manner that does not interfere with utilities, easements, or existing structures.
Trees obtained through this program are not City property. The applicant/property owner is solely responsible for the planting, care, and maintenance of trees and assumes all associated risk.
Customer must contact the Underground Service Alert of Southern California or DigAlert at 1-800-422-4133 prior to planting.
Trees must be selected from the approved species list and planted in containers of at least #5 size (5 gallons or larger).
Rebates of up to $50 per tree will be issued only to the customer of record, and may not be transferred or assigned to third parties.
Customers must submit a signed application, dated proof of purchase, and all required documentation within 90 days of purchase. Incomplete or late applications may be denied or delayed.
All trees are subject to inspection, and by applying, customers authorize MVU staff to access the property to verify compliance.
Program updates will be sent by email. Be sure to provide an address you check regularly.
If all program requirements are met, rebate checks will be mailed within 6–8 weeks of approval. Applications selected for inspection may take longer.
Funding is limited. Rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are not guaranteed. The program may be modified or terminated without prior notice.
MVU does not warrant or endorse any tree, contractor, vendor, or installation and assumes no liability for their performance, safety, or quality.
Participants are responsible for complying with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, including building codes and HOA requirements.
As a condition of participation, customers agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of Moreno Valley, MVU, and their officers, employees, and agents from any and all claims, damages, or liabilities related to the selection, purchase, planting, installation, or maintenance of trees.
MVU reserves the right to deny any rebate application at its sole discretion if program terms are not met.
TAX LIABILITY—Rebates and incentives may be taxable. Customers are advised to seek guidance from their tax advisor regarding the tax implications of rebates. MVU is not responsible for any taxes that may be imposed on the customer as a result receiving a rebate.
