Tuolumne County does not have a snow removal ordinance for sidewalks or private property. Higher elevation communities (Twain Harte, Long Barn, Pinecrest) receive significant snowfall but the county does not mandate private snow clearing.
Tuolumne County does not have an ordinance requiring property owners to clear snow from sidewalks or walkways. Higher elevation communities above 3,500 feet (Twain Harte, Mi-Wuk Village, Long Barn, Pinecrest) receive regular snowfall during winter months. County road crews maintain county roads, and Caltrans maintains state highways (SR 108, SR 120). Private driveways and walkways are the owner's responsibility but there is no legal mandate to clear them within a specific timeframe. Many mountain community residents contract with private snow plowing services. The lack of formal sidewalk infrastructure in most unincorporated areas makes a sidewalk clearing ordinance impractical.
No violations for failure to clear snow. Property owners are responsible for their own access.
