Frisco has no municipal snow and ice removal ordinance requiring property owners to clear sidewalks. Snow events in North Texas are rare, and the city relies on natural melt. TxDOT and Frisco Public Works treat major roads and bridges during winter weather events.
Property owners who fail to clear ice before a visitor injury may face private premises liability under Texas common law, but no city fine applies. The February 2021 winter storm prompted expanded city brine-treatment operations on arterials and overpasses. Contact Frisco at (972) 292-5000 for enforcement.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
