Measurable snowfall in the Sacramento Valley occurs roughly once per decade, so Sacramento County has no sidewalk snow removal ordinance. However, under California Streets and Highways Code 5610, property owners adjacent to sidewalks are responsible for keeping walkways in good repair and free of hazardous conditions including debris, overgrowth, and ice. The Sierra foothills portions of eastern Sacramento County (near Folsom Lake) may occasionally see frost or thin ice, in which case owners should treat the surface to prevent slip hazards.
