Cheyenne, WY Property Maintenance: Snow & Sidewalk Clearing (2026)

Snow, ice or slush on a sidewalk is a nuisance, whether the sidewalk is on a vacant lot or a lot containing a building of any kind. For purposes of this subsection, sidewalk includes any space where a sidewalk should or may be constructed. In the event of a dispute as to where a sidewalk should or may be constructed, the chief of police shall make the determination. Owner(s) and/or, if appropriate, the occupant(s) of property abutting a sidewalk shall within a twenty-four (24) hour period, after a snowfall, remove snow, ice or slush from such sidewalks and maintain them free of the same. If any owner(s) and/or, if appropriate, the occupant(s) of the property fails to comply with this subsection, the nuisance officers may, after a reasonable effort to contact the owner and/or occupant either in person or by telephone, have the snow, ice or slush removed and charge the owner(s) and/or, as appropriate, the occupant(s) for the costs thereof as set forth in Section 8.60.160.
