Snow is extremely rare in Chandler due to the city's desert climate. There is no specific snow removal ordinance for sidewalks. On the rare occasions when snow or ice does accumulate, property owners are expected to take reasonable steps to keep sidewalks safe for pedestrians. The city's general nuisance and public safety provisions would apply if hazardous conditions exist on sidewalks.
Chandler is located in Arizona, 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.
