Anoka County Homeowners:
Up to 95% of Rain Garden Costs May Be Covered
Why Anoka County Is Different
The Anoka Conservation District offers one of the highest residential cost-share rates in the metro.
• 75% cost share for qualifying native plantings and rain gardens
• 95% cost share for curb-cut rain gardens treating street runoff
• Applications reviewed monthly
Funding is collaborative, they help scope projects before approval.
This Is a Good Fit If:
✓ You live in Andover, Lino Lakes, Nowthen, Ham Lake, or surrounding areas
✓ You plan to improve your landscaping in the next year
✓ You want to reduce project cost dramatically
✓ You prefer a guided process
If you’re looking for basic lawn care, this program likely isn’t a fit.
What Types of Projects Are Covered?
• Curb-cut rain gardens
• Native plant conversions
• Pollinator habitat installations
• Stormwater-focused landscape redesign
If your property drains toward a watershed priority area, you may qualify.
MinnePrairie Will Handle:
• Initial site evaluation
• Determining 75% vs 95% eligibility
• Coordination with the Anoka Conservation District
• Concept design and project scope
• Application preparation and submission
• Installation
• Final documentation for reimbursement
We work directly with the district so your project aligns with funding requirements from the start.
You get a clear path forward without confusion.
