Temple Terrace sits in USDA hardiness zone 9b with a subtropical climate and no practical snowfall. The city has no snow or ice removal ordinance. Under general Florida municipal practice and Temple Terrace Code, property owners are responsible for keeping adjacent public sidewalks clear of vegetation overgrowth, tripping hazards from tree roots, and debris.
