Provo §9.28.030 requires sidewalk snow removal within 24 hours after snowfall ends. Orem §13-4-5 sets 24-hour rule. Critical in Utah County given heavy Wasatch snowfall and lake-effect storms from Utah Lake.
Provo Municipal Code §9.28.030 requires property owners and occupants to remove snow and ice from adjacent public sidewalks within 24 hours after snowfall ceases. Orem Code §13-4-5 mirrors the 24-hour standard. Lindon §14-2, Pleasant Grove §8-6, and American Fork §5.24 all follow 24-hour rules. A clear path of at least 36 inches wide is required; 48 inches for ADA-designated routes. Ice must be treated with sand, salt, or ice melt — no bare ice during daylight hours. Utah County unincorporated areas lack a mandatory clearing ordinance but Utah Code §72-9-101 road safety standards apply to right-of-way. Wasatch Front annual snowfall averages 60-80 inches with Utah Lake lake-effect events adding sudden accumulations. Corner lots must clear curb ramps and crosswalk approaches. Elderly and disabled residents may qualify for Provo Adopt-A-Sidewalk volunteer assistance or Orem Neighborhood Snow Angels. Failure creates slip-and-fall civil liability under Utah's premises liability doctrine.
Failure to clear (Provo §9.28.090): $50 to $250 per 24-hour occurrence. City may clear and bill owner under Utah Code §10-11-3 abatement ($150 to $400 service fee plus administrative costs). Premises liability if injury occurs.
