In Surrey, property owners must clear snow from sidewalks around their property by 10 AM after a snowfall. Failing to do so may result in fines under the City of Surrey’s Highway and Traffic Bylaw—$80 per day for businesses and $55 per day for residential properties. If a property is reported for unshoveled sidewalks, the owner will receive a notice and must respond within the given timeframe to avoid penalties.

Yes, salting before a snowfall can help prevent ice from forming and make it easier to clear snow afterward. By applying salt early, you can reduce the risk of ice buildup and keep your walkways safer for everyone.

The best time to salt is before the snow falls, or as soon as snow starts to accumulate. Salting early helps prevent ice from bonding to surfaces and makes snow removal easier. If it’s already snowing, you can still apply salt during or after the snowfall to help with ice prevention.
