Announcements
NOTICE-Snowplowing across roadways
Owners of property abutting public roads within St. Joseph County should be aware of Act 82 of Public Acts of 1978. The law prohibits citizens from dumping snow on roadways and shoulders.
Snow, ice or slush may not be removed from a driveway or parking lot and placed across a roadway or on the shoulder.
Violation of the law is a misdemeanor, with both the property owner and person hired to remove the snow responsible for any illegal snow removal activities.
Additionally, any accidents caused by illegal snow removal will leave violators open to lawsuits for public liability and property damage.
