Iowa SF2146 modifies property owner responsibilities for public places, prohibiting fines and limiting costs to materials and labor.

Iowa SF2146 amends the law regarding property owners' responsibilities for public places in cities. It specifies that abutting property owners are responsible for removing snow and ice from sidewalks and maintaining public property between the property line and the curb line. The bill prohibits cities from assessing fines against property owners for failure to comply with these requirements. Instead, cities can only assess material and direct labor costs for actions they perform. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies retroactively to June 13, 2024.
