DeKalb County rarely sees significant snow. No formal snow-clearing ordinance applies, but property owners remain responsible for safe sidewalk conditions year-round.
Metro Atlanta averages only 1 to 2 inches of snow annually, and DeKalb has no ordinance requiring property owners to clear snow from adjacent sidewalks. During rare winter-weather events (the 2014 'Snowpocalypse' is the touchstone), DeKalb County prioritizes primary arterials and bridges for salting and plowing; residential streets may remain untreated for days. Property owners should still treat or clear ice accumulation for liability reasons: slip-and-fall injuries on a sidewalk can support a negligence claim. General property maintenance codes require keeping sidewalks clear of debris, overgrown vegetation, and tripping hazards year-round.
No snow-specific penalty. General sidewalk obstruction (overgrowth, debris): $25 to $250 property-maintenance citation. Injury liability handled through civil courts under negligence.
