Miami Gardens is located in South Florida and does not experience snow or ice conditions. There are no snow removal ordinances. However, property owners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalk adjacent to their property free of obstructions. Under the city's code enforcement standards, hedges and tree limbs must be trimmed so they do not overhang or obstruct sidewalks, maintaining at least 8 feet of vertical clearance over pedestrian walkways. Encroachment into the public right-of-way with fences, walls, or vegetation is prohibited. Property owners must also ensure their sidewalk sections are in reasonable repair and do not create trip hazards.
Vegetation obstructing sidewalks is a code enforcement violation. Property owners may be required to trim vegetation immediately upon notice.
