Snow Removal Subsidy Program

Parkland County has funding support available to residents with disabilities for snow removal from their private driveways.

To qualify, applicants must provide a doctor's note confirming that they and all members of their household are physically unable to remove snow from their driveway. Snow removal funding is now limited to three tiers based on driveway length:

• Tier 1: $195
• Tier 2: $260
• Tier 3: $325

Tier placement will be determined by the program administrator.

Due to increased demand and a limited budget, the number of applicants may be capped. If this occurs, a waitlist will be introduced, and applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Criteria:

• Person applying must be the owner or renter of the residence where the driveway is being plowed, and it must be their primary residence.
• Residence must be located within Parkland County.
• Person must be physically challenged either by age or disability and must provide a doctor's certificate or note verifying that they are physically unable to remove snow from their driveway.
• All persons 18 years of age or older living in the residence must be physically disabled.

Residents can apply by completing the following:

• Snow Removal Subsidy Program application,
• Doctor's certificate or note, and
• the Direct Deposit Enrollment Form to:

If approved, the resident will be responsible for making arrangements to have their driveway cleared. Residents then submit proof of work completed, via paid invoice, to the County for reimbursement. If a receipt isn't available, complete this: Sales Receipt form.   

The current maximum reimbursement per approved resident is from $195 to $325 per winter season (the span of time from the first snowfall in the fall to the last snowfall of the following spring). Proof of payment must be submitted before April 30, directly following that winter season to be considered. Late submissions will not be accepted.
