Westchester County maintains county roads and parks but does not require homeowners to clear sidewalks — that duty is set by each municipality. Typical rule: sidewalks cleared within 12-24 hours after snow ends.
County Department of Public Works plows county roads (CR-designated routes) and clears sidewalks inside county-owned park and building property.

Fines typically $50-$250 first offense.
