Our Green Shade Tree rebate helps you get rebates for shade trees that help your house save energy. 

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, carefully positioned trees can save up to 25% of the energy a typical household uses. Not only do trees help you save energy, but they increase property value and are crucial to a healthy environment. 

Let's work together to plant trees all over San Antonio—starting in your own yard. To make the deal even sweeter, after you purchase and plant a qualified shade tree, we'll give you a $50 rebate!

• Trees must be three gallons or larger and from the Qualified Species List on the application form.
• Rebates of $50 for each eligible tree are awarded on a first come, first serve—until program funds are exhausted.
