McKinney has no mandatory snow or ice removal ordinance for residential sidewalks. North Texas winter weather events are infrequent and state law imposes no clearance duty.
Unlike northern states, McKinney does not require property owners to clear snow or ice from adjacent sidewalks. During ice events, the city treats major arterials with brine and sand. Residents are encouraged but not required to clear walkways. Commercial property owners may face premises liability claims under common law negligence.
