1. Know your city's rules

Spanish Fork: residents are responsible for clearing sidewalks and mailbox access next to their home, and the city strongly recommends clearing within 24 hours after a storm. No parking on city streets once snow begins to accumulate and for up to 48 hours after, or until plowing is done (ordinance 10.16.040). Do not throw snow into the road (Spanish Fork City; Streets & Stormwater).
Provo: City Code 9.16.040 makes it unlawful not to clear sidewalk snow or ice once average depth exceeds one inch or it is unreasonably dangerous. Provo's Streets page asks residents to clear sidewalks, driveways and mailboxes within 24 hours after a storm, and not to put snow in the street (Provo City; Provo.com explainer).

2. Questions to ask a snow removal company

What snow depth triggers a visit?
How soon after the snow stops will you arrive? Before work hours?
Are sidewalks, steps and ice melt included?
Seasonal flat rate or per storm? How is a very big storm billed?
Do you carry liability insurance if someone slips or a plow damages concrete?
