Victorville rarely experiences snow, so there is no routine snow-removal ordinance. Property owners must keep sidewalks adjacent to their property clear of debris, overgrowth, and hazards.
Victorville sits in the high desert of San Bernardino County, where snow is uncommon and typically melts quickly. The Municipal Code does not impose a routine snow shoveling requirement like cold-climate cities do. However, property owners are responsible under Streets and Sidewalks provisions for maintaining the sidewalk abutting their property free of tripping hazards, overgrown landscaping, trash, and dangerous debris. On rare days when snow or ice does accumulate, homeowners are encouraged to clear the sidewalk for safety and to avoid liability, but no citation is typically issued for brief snow events. Overhanging tree branches must be trimmed to maintain a clear pedestrian path, usually at least 7 to 8 feet above the sidewalk. Damaged sidewalks caused by private landscaping or tree roots may become the owner's responsibility to repair after notice. Report hazards to Public Works or Code Enforcement.
