Am I responsible for clearing the sidewalk in front of my house or place of business after it snows?

Yes. Per Township Ordinance 274-6, it shall be the duty of the owner, occupant or tenant of any lot, parcel of land, or real property in the Township abutting or bordering on the sidewalks of a public street in the Township to remove or cause to be removed all snow and ice from the sidewalk area in front of or bordering his lands, within 12 hours of daylight after the snow has ceased to fall. 


Also, note Township Ordinance 274-10 states that no person, including the owner, tenant or occupant of any premises abutting on any street shall throw, place or deposit upon any sidewalk or street in the Township, any snow or ice which has accumulated within the private property of such person, owner, tenant or occupant.
