Delray Beach is in South Florida and does not experience snowfall. No snow removal ordinance exists. Property owners are responsible for keeping sidewalks free of debris, vegetation overgrowth, and trip hazards year-round.
While snow clearing is not applicable, FL §95.361 and City Code generally require abutting property owners to maintain sidewalks in passable condition. This includes trimming vegetation that encroaches over the sidewalk, removing fallen palm fronds, and clearing debris after storms. Sidewalk structural repairs (cracks, heaves from tree roots) are typically the city's responsibility unless damage was caused by the owner. After hurricanes, residents should clear storm debris from sidewalks within 7 days or as directed by emergency orders.
Failure to trim vegetation encroaching sidewalks can result in Code Enforcement notice, with the city trimming and billing if not corrected within 10 days.
