West Jordan Municipal Code Title 10-5 requires property owners to clear snow/ice from adjacent sidewalks within 24 hours of snowfall ending. Commercial properties: 8 hours. Failure triggers city clearing billed to owner.
Under Title 10 (Streets and Sidewalks) Section 10-5, West Jordan residents and commercial property owners are responsible for snow and ice removal on public sidewalks abutting their property. Residential: within 24 hours after snowfall ends. Commercial: within 8 hours during business days (4 hours if open to public). Ice must be removed or treated with de-icing material. Snow may NOT be pushed into streets, bike lanes, or onto neighboring properties. Disabled or elderly residents may register with Senior Services for volunteer snow crew assistance. Failure to clear creates liability under Utah Code §78B-2-102 for slip-and-fall injuries on adjacent walks. City Public Works may clear sidewalks and bill owners $50–$150 per occurrence.
First warning: courtesy notice. Failure to clear: city crew clears + $75–$150 charge. Repeat: Title 1 civil penalty up to $500. Injury to pedestrian: owner civil liability.
