Snow Reminder for Annapolis City Residents

Annapolis Property Services would like to remind all our tenants who live in the city of the snow removal policy.

SIDEWALK CLEARING: City Code, Section 14.24.010 requires the abutting property owner to clear the public sidewalk of snow and ice within 3 hours after the snow or sleet has stopped falling except when the snow or sleet stopped falling between 3 PM and 6 AM, then the snow/ice must be removed from the walk before 11 AM. Violation of this code requirement is subject to a $25.00 fine. Please lend a helping hand to any neighbors who may be physically or otherwise unable to clear sidewalks. (Never use fertilizer to melt ice and snow; the nitrogen and phosphorus in fertilizer can harm your local streams, groundwater and the Chesapeake Bay!)

GUARD AGAINST FLOODING: Uncover and clear area around fire hydrants and storm drain inlets. If snow melts and rainwater can’t flow away, it could cause street icing and basement flooding.
