What to know in Provo

  • Provo City Code Chapter 9.16 makes clearing the sidewalk the job of the owner, tenant or lessee of the property it runs alongside, so renters can be responsible too.
  • The code (9.16.040) makes it unlawful to leave snow when it averages more than an inch deep, or when it is unreasonably dangerous; the city's Streets Maintenance page asks for sidewalks to be cleared within 24 hours of a storm.
  • Pushing or piling snow so it blocks a street, a driveway or drivers' view is also unlawful in Provo. The one exception in the code is the city's own plowing.
  • Provo plows arterial and collector roads first; residential routes take roughly 12 to 14 hours. State routes through the city are UDOT's, and city streets are reported through Provo 311 at (801) 852-6000.
