Belgrade's Sidewalk Rule, Explained
Belgrade City Code 7-3-2 requires the property owner, manager, or tenant responsible for Snow and Ice Management including to clear the sidewalk next to their property. Here's what that means for you:
-
The deadline: sidewalks must be cleared of snow and ice by noon the day after a snowfall.
-
The city doesn't do it for you: city crews clear only sidewalks at city-owned properties like parks, City Hall, and the library.
-
If it isn't done: the city can clear the sidewalk and bill the property owner. Under City Code 7-3-4, charges start at $25 for the first half hour, plus $50 per hour after that and a $35 administrative fee. Unpaid charges can be added to your property assessment.
A BSS snow plan takes this off your list. Your agreement sets the snow depth that triggers service and the areas we clear, so you know what to expect before the first storm.
From a single driveway to a commercial parking lot or an HOA's private roads, our plow crews keep vehicle areas open so residents, customers, and employees can get in and out.
Sidewalks, walkways, steps, and entrances are cleared with equipment where it fits and hand tools where it doesn't. Sidewalk service can often be set up on its own, even if you don't need plowing.
Clearing snow is only part of the job. Ice that forms after a storm is what causes slips. We offer liquid de-icing for larger paved areas and granular ice melt for walkways and entrances.
When the City Plows Your Street
Belgrade plows its main routes first. Residential streets are plowed after that, in five zones, once snow reaches three inches or more. That means your street may be plowed hours after your driveway and sidewalk are clear. Ask us how your plan can handle snow the city plow leaves at the end of your driveway.
Plan for Where the Snow Goes
On tighter lots and in shared parking areas, snow piles can run out of room quickly in a big winter. We'll talk through where snow can be stacked on your property and what happens when space runs short, including pile moving or hauling when it's needed.
