Not applicable — Duval County's subtropical climate (Jacksonville averages below freezing only a handful of nights per year) means no snow-clearing ordinance exists.
Florida has no statewide snow-clearing law, and Jacksonville/Duval has never enacted one. The city's general sidewalk-obstruction rule in Ord. Code Ch. 741 requires owners to keep sidewalks clear of vegetation, debris, and merchandise, but snow is not a realistic concern. This snow sidewalk clearing rule under Duval County's property maintenance ordinances applies to unincorporated areas of Duval County. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Duval County code enforcement directly or consult the official Florida municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
