Snow on Sidewalks

District 5 Blog Post: 10/07/2025


The County Council is currently reviewing legislation that would impose greater fines if you do not remove snow from your sidewalk within 24 hours of a storm. Each day is a new offense with steep increases ($500 per day starting on day 3 for residential property). This impacts individual properties and sidewalks managed by community associations.

The impetus for this legislation from the administration was last year's snowstorm and uncleared sidewalks in the county. A robust discussion took place at the last council meeting, starting at timestamp 2:15:41
