Snow is effectively nonexistent in Citrus Heights, which sits at about 160 ft elevation near Sacramento. No snow-clearing ordinance exists. Property owners are responsible for maintaining abutting sidewalks in safe condition under California Streets & Highways Code §5610.
Citrus Heights experiences a Mediterranean climate with rare, trace snowfall roughly once per decade that melts within hours. The city has no snow-removal ordinance. However, California Streets & Highways Code §5610 makes adjacent property owners responsible for maintaining sidewalks fronting their property in a non-dangerous condition, which in the Sacramento region primarily means addressing trip hazards from tree-root uplift, broken concrete, vegetation overgrowth, and debris. The city's sidewalk inspection program notifies owners of defects for repair, and tree-root damage is handled jointly with the city's urban forestry program.
Dangerous sidewalk conditions may trigger notice-and-repair orders. Liability for slip-and-fall injuries typically follows Streets & Highways Code §5610.
