Who is responsible for snow removal?
The responsibility for snow removal falls into three categories:
- County streets
- All named streets within the Association are owned and maintained by Harford County, which means the County conducts all snow removal on the streets. That is paid for through taxes; not Association assessments.
- HOA common areas
- The Association handles snow removal in the common areas. To keep assessments low, only the following areas are cleared:
- Mailbox clusters
- This includes the sidewalk in front of each cluster, matching the width of the concrete mailbox pad.
- Common-area bus stops
- This 2026 map of bus stops shows the common area bus stops with blue pins and the other bus stop intersections with red pins.
- Clubhouse entrance and parking lot (front half only)
- Mailbox clusters
- The Association handles snow removal in the common areas. To keep assessments low, only the following areas are cleared:
- Homeowner property
- CC&Rs Article VI Section 4 requires homeowners to keep their sidewalks neat, clean, and in good repair, and free of ice and snow.
- Homeowner snow removal should be completed within 3 days after the end of the snowfall.
