St. Louis County does not impose a private snow-removal mandate on homeowners. County plows clear arterial and collector roads first; subdivision roads should be addressed within 24 hours of storm end. Residents are asked to park off streets during storms.
Snow operations are governed by §1105.040 (Arterial Road System) and the §1207.040 prohibition on parking that obstructs emergency snow removal. The county's 24-hour dispatch is (314) 615-1131. Sidewalk maintenance on private property is the owner's responsibility under §1110.302.3; sidewalks in public ROW are repaired by Highways & Traffic at no charge as funding allows.
Vehicles obstructing snow removal can be ticketed under §1207.040 or towed; sidewalks in disrepair on private property cited under §1110.302.3.
