What is the Knoxville Snow Ordinance, when does it go into effect, and how can I be notified?
The Knoxville Snow Ordinance is designed to allow City crews to more easily plow City streets. It makes it illegal to park any vehicle on any City street when it is in effect. Vehicles found on the street may be cited ($25 fine) and/or towed. The Knoxville Snow Ordinance generally goes into effect any time we expect to receive one inch or more of snow. Once declared, the Knoxville Snow Ordinance stays in effect until the storm ends AND the street has been plowed from curb to curb or 24 hours has passed since the storm ended. It is announced on all local media and this web site. You may sign up to be notified by email or text message on the Notify Me section of this web site.
