Dunedin does not receive snowfall, so no snow-clearing ordinance exists, but adjacent property owners must keep sidewalks free of overgrown vegetation, debris, and obstructions to maintain safe pedestrian passage.
Because Dunedin's coastal Pinellas County climate effectively never produces snow or ice, the city has no snow removal ordinance. Instead, property owners abutting public sidewalks must keep them clear of obstructions under Chapter 34 and the city's land development code. Vegetation along sidewalks must be trimmed back to the edge of the pavement and at least seven feet of vertical clearance maintained for tree limbs over walkways. Owners must also remove fallen palm fronds, yard debris, sand washouts after storms, and other temporary obstructions. Sidewalks themselves are typically maintained by the city, but owners are responsible for damage caused by their landscaping or improvements and may be billed for repairs.
Allowing vegetation, debris, or obstructions to block public sidewalks results in code enforcement notice, repair invoices, or city lien for cleanup costs.
