The vast majority of unincorporated Tuolumne County lacks formal sidewalk infrastructure. The rural and semi-rural character of communities like Twain Harte, Groveland, Columbia, and Jamestown means pedestrian paths are informal. Where sidewalks do exist (primarily near Sonora and in some planned developments), repair responsibility typically falls to the adjacent property owner under California Streets and Highways Code §5610, which states that property owners are responsible for maintaining sidewalks fronting their property. However, the county has not adopted a specific sidewalk maintenance ordinance. HOA communities may have CC&R provisions regarding walkway maintenance.
No county sidewalk repair ordinance. Property owner liability for injuries from defective sidewalks under state law.
