Irving does not have a mandatory sidewalk snow clearing ordinance. Located in North Texas with a subtropical climate, Irving receives snow only occasionally during winter months. When snow or ice events occur, the city focuses on clearing major roads and bridges. There is no legal obligation for residents to clear snow or ice from sidewalks.
Irving is located in Texas, where significant snowfall is rare or nonexistent. As a result, most municipalities do not have formal snow removal ordinances. However, residents are still responsible for keeping sidewalks adjacent to their property clear of debris, vegetation overgrowth, and tripping hazards under general property maintenance codes. In the rare event of icy conditions, property owners may be liable for slip-and-fall injuries on their sidewalks. General sidewalk maintenance requirements still apply year-round.
Sidewalk obstruction: $25 to $100 code enforcement citation. Injury liability possible under general negligence.
