Sidewalks

Sidewalk maintenance rules in Bend state that the sidewalk in front of your residence or business is your responsibility to maintain. This includes keeping it clear from vegetation and shoveling the snow from it.

See the information below from the City of Bend website on Sidewalk Snow and Ice Removal 

  • “All commercial properties must remove snow and ice from the sidewalk within six hours of daylight after the snow has fallen
  • All residential properties have 24 hours to remove snow after it has fallen.
  • When shoveling snow, be sure to keep all of the snow on your property. Snow cannot be moved from the sidewalk into the street.”

See the information below from the City of Bend website on Sidewalk Program and Compliance

  • “Per  City Code 3.30.020 Property owners are responsible of maintaining sidewalks adjacent to their property in good repair and unobstructed.  You will need a right-of-way permit from the City to complete repairs”
