Abilene does not typically experience snow accumulation requiring formal clearing ordinances. General sidewalk maintenance and debris removal may still apply.
Abilene is located in Texas, where significant snowfall is rare or nonexistent. As a result, most municipalities do not have formal snow removal ordinances. However, residents are still responsible for keeping sidewalks adjacent to their property clear of debris, vegetation overgrowth, and tripping hazards under general property maintenance codes. In the rare event of icy conditions, property owners may be liable for slip-and-fall injuries on their sidewalks. General sidewalk maintenance requirements still apply year-round.
Sidewalk obstruction: $25 to $100 code enforcement citation. Injury liability possible under general negligence.
