  • Snow Ordinance Reminder
    With winter upon us, the City would like to remind residents of the ordinances that pertain to snow and ice. According to City Code, it shall be the responsibility of the abutting property owners to remove snow and ice accumulations promptly from sidewalks. If the property owner does not remove snow and/or ice accumulations within a reasonable time, the City may do so and ultimately assess the costs against the property owner for collection in the same manner as property tax. For purposes of enforcement, a reasonable time period generally shall be 48 hours after the snow or ice accumulations end. If you park a vehicle on the street, under Chapter 60.10.10, it is unlawful to park on any streets during the time of snow falls and within the 24 hours following the end of the any snow. Failure to remove said vehicle can result in a ticket and/or impoundment. The snow removal policy adopted by the City Council states, “snow placed in driveways by City plows is the responsibility of the property owner to remove. Snow from a private driveway may not be placed on or pushed across a City street.” These ordinances are for the safety of all Windsor Heights citizens and will be strictly enforced.
