Most unincorporated LA County areas do not receive snow. Mountain communities (e.g., Wrightwood, Mt. Baldy area) may experience snowfall but there is no county snow removal ordinance for sidewalks. Property owners in mountain areas handle snow removal voluntarily.
Most unincorporated LA County areas do not receive snow. Mountain communities (Wrightwood, Lake Hughes, Acton, portions of the Angeles National Forest fringe) may experience snow seasonally. There is no countywide snow removal ordinance. The LA County Department of Public Works clears main roads in mountain communities after storms. Property owners in mountain areas are responsible for their own driveways and walkways. Chains or snow tires may be required on mountain roads under Caltrans chain control orders.
No specific penalties for failing to clear snow from private property in unincorporated LA County. However, ice or snow creating a hazardous condition on a commercial property's sidewalk may trigger premises liability. Mountain road closures are enforced by CHP and Caltrans — driving without required chains carries a $156 fine.
