Under a recently enacted Town ordinance, property owners in
South Kingstown are now responsible for snow and ice removal from sidewalks
adjacent to their properties.
If you own property adjacent to a sidewalk, you may be
eligible for a waiver from snow and ice removal requirements if (1) you’re over
the age of 65, (2) are disabled, or (3) your work schedule prevents you from
removing snow or ice within 12 hours after the succession of a storm.
If you have any questions about the new snow removal ordinance, or your
obligations under the ordinance, please click here to review the ordinance or
call the Town Managers Office at 789-9331 extension 1201. A map of priority sidewalks is also available online; please click here to view. These priority sidewalks are
subject to strict enforcement because they are used by students to access
public schools.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and hospitable
community!
