DC Snow Shovel Exemption for District Residents Who Are Seniors and Disabled
DC law requires that residents remove snow and ice from the paved sidewalks, curb ramps and curb cuts abuting their property after a snowstorm but examptions can be obtained from DPW. The Sidewalk Shoveling Exemption Program exempts qualified residents, seniors or disabled for two consecutive snow seasons from enforcement by the Department of Public Works for not removing snow and ice from their sidewalks within the first eight hours of daylight after the end of a winter storm. Once approved, residents must apply every other year to the Department of Public Works to continue to receive the exemption. The current two-year exemption runs from January 1, 2021- December 31, 2022. The deadline to apply is February 28, 2021. Please use this link to file for your exemption: https://shovelexemption.dpw.dc.gov
