What is the fine for not clearing your sidewalk?

Under local snow-clearing bylaws, fines for non-compliance can reach up to $500. The city can also clear the sidewalk and bill the property owner for the cost. PWW guarantees compliance within the 24-hour window.

Does PWW guarantee sidewalk compliance within 24 hours?

Yes. Our 24-hour sidewalk compliance service guarantees your sidewalk is cleared within the bylaw-mandated timeframe after snowfall ends. We monitor weather conditions and dispatch automatically.

24-Hour Sidewalk Clearing — Guaranteed Compliance

local snow-clearing bylaw requires snow and ice cleared within 24 hours of snowfall. Miss the window, face the fine. We guarantee compliance.

Why This Matters

local snow-clearing bylaws isn't a suggestion — it's enforced. Property owners are responsible for clearing adjacent sidewalks within 24 hours of any snowfall event. Fines escalate with repeat violations.

The city's own snow clearing operates on a 10cm trigger with a Week A/Week B rotation. That means 5–9cm events get ignored by municipal crews but still trigger your bylaw obligation.

That gap between city service and your legal responsibility is where properties get fined.
