Hinds County has no snow removal ordinance - accumulating snow is extremely rare in central Mississippi. General sidewalk maintenance under Jackson Code Chapter 106 still requires owners to keep walks clear of debris and vegetation.
Jackson typically sees measurable snow only once every few years. No Hinds County municipality (Jackson, Clinton, Byram, Raymond, Edwards, Terry, Bolton, Learned, Utica) maintains a formal snow or ice removal ordinance. When freezing precipitation does occur - as during the February 2021 and January 2024 ice events - MDOT and Jackson Public Works prioritize bridges and elevated overpasses on I-55, I-20, and I-220. Property owners have no statutory duty to clear sidewalks of ice or snow, but under Mississippi premises liability case law (Double Quick v. Moore standard) they can face tort liability for known hazards they fail to address. General sidewalk clearance of debris, overhanging vegetation, and tripping hazards is required year-round under property maintenance code.
Debris or vegetation on sidewalk: Jackson §106 property maintenance citation $25 to $500. Tort liability possible under general Mississippi premises liability doctrine for known hazards.
