Anne Arundel Council adopts amendment clarifying sidewalk snow/ice ordinance applies to private property, schedules further hearing
Summary
The county council adopted Amendment 14 to Bill 7,625, clarifying the sidewalk snow-and-ice ordinance applies to private property fronting county sidewalks; council debated enforcement via the 311 complaint system and concerns about liens and elderly residents before scheduling the bill for Dec. 1, 2025.
The Anne Arundel County Council on Nov. 17 adopted a clarifying amendment to an ordinance that would require removal of snow and ice from sidewalks and make private property owners responsible when those sidewalks front county right-of-way.
Ethan Hunt, speaking for the administration, said Amendment 14 "clarifies that private property fronting county sidewalks is in fact subject to this bill." The amendment was adopted by roll call, 4–3.
