As a coastal Southern California city, Huntington Beach does not receive snow. Sidewalk maintenance responsibilities focus on keeping sidewalks clear of obstructions, vegetation, and maintaining adjacent trees. Property owners are responsible for abutting sidewalk conditions.
Huntington Beach does not receive snow, so snow clearing is not applicable. Property owners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalk areas abutting their property free of obstructions, overhanging vegetation, and tripping hazards. Tree roots from street trees or private trees that damage sidewalks should be reported to Public Works. The city maintains public sidewalks but property owners may be responsible for repairs caused by their trees or improvements. Trees trimming in the parkway requires prior authorization from Public Works.
Property owners may be liable for injuries from unsafe sidewalk conditions caused by their trees or improvements.
