Homeowners may be responsible for snow and ice removal
December 30, 2010 - Inclement winter weather may lead some homeowners to review their neighborhoods' snow and ice removal policies, as failure to comply by these regulations could result in fines or other consequences.
Many cities require residents to remove snow and ice from their property within a certain amount of time after bad weather has stopped.
For example, the town of Wausau, Wisconsin, requires real estate owners to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours of a storm, the Wausau Daily Herald reports.
Failure to do so may lead to a fine or stoppage of postal services, according to the media outlet.
However, high levels of snow and ice may make removal especially difficult. As a result, homeowners may want to take measures to prepare for winter storms.
Individuals who are planning on moving to a region that is commonly affected by winter weather may consider investing in a motorized snow blower, which can save a great deal of time and energy.
Before a storm hits, homeowners might salt their sidewalks and driveways to prevent some of the snow and ice from accumulating too quickly. Continuing to do this during a storm may save time and effort after the weather has passed.
