Sidewalk Snow Removal

The County of Brant Snow Removal Bylaw 54-24 (PDF) requires every occupant of a building and every owner of a vacant lot to clear any accumulation of snow, slush and ice from sidewalks surrounding their property within twenty-four (24) hours after the accumulation has ended. If you fail to do so, the municipality may clear and remove snow, slush and ice at the owner's expense which is subject to an administration fee. The municipality may also issue a Provincial Offence Notice.

This means that in the winter, as a resident, you are responsible for clearing and removing any accumulation of snow, slush, or ice from the sidewalk in front of, alongside and behind your property. The sidewalks must be continually maintained to be free of slippery surfaces.

Even a small amount of snow, slush or ice can be dangerous for pedestrians.

Sidewalk Snow Removal Tips:

  • Do not deposit or blow snow, ice or slush onto the street or roadway as this can create a significant hazard
  • Do not move or relocate snow, slush or ice on the highway
  • Do not deposit snow, slush or ice in a way that blocks visibility or fire hydrants
