Ready to go green? The table below will give you an idea of what you qualify for. Remember, rebates are limited to one reimbursement per address per year. Scroll down below to participate in the online course and quiz or sign up to attend an in-person workshop.
Not sure which district you fall under? We verify your address online through The Franklin County Auditor and use your tax district to find out what you would qualify for. For any other questions, please call (614) 486-9613, ext. 111.
*Eligibility is based on your primary tax district, which may be different than your postal address. If you live in a city, municipality or village that has combined boundaries, your primary tax district takes precedence and if not listed below as a participating community, but you live within Franklin County, you would only be eligible for a rebate on the purchase of a rain barrel.

Receive a $100 reimbursement if you purchase a native tree this year from the Branch Out Columbus preferred tree list. Note: This offer cannot be combined with any other eligible item and will only apply to native tree purchases. If you are not interested in purchasing a native tree this year, you would still qualify for a $50 reimbursement on another eligible item but would not qualify for a reimbursement on both. This is a special offer funded by the City of Columbus & New Albany for residents and tax payers of Columbus and New Albany only. This offer is based on your primary tax district, which may be different than your postal address. Not all participants will qualify for the $100 rebate.
