    During the Lake Tahoe winter months, the Washoe County Sheriff's Office would like to clarify some points to the community in regards to Snow Removal & Parking Prohibitions.  These ordinances were put in place to help safeguard the public health, safety, and general welfare by prohibiting parking, leaving standing vehicles, or relocating snow from private property to public roads or pedestrian paths to prevent hazardous winter traffic conditions.


Washoe County Code 70.425 notes that it is unlawful during a "Red" designated winter enforcement period, for any person operating or in charge of a vehicle to stop, park, leave standing, whether attended or unattended, such vehicle upon any public highway, road, street, pedestrian path, or bike path, including any portion of the right-of-way thereof, within any designated snow area.

Washoe County Code 70.430 notes that the area generally & commonly known as the "Tahoe Basin" is a snow area.

Washoe County Code 70.437 indicates that the time period between November 1 and May 1 is a "Winter Enforcement Period."  The supervisor of the County Road Division located at Incline Village, or his designee, or the supervisor of the Sheriff's Incline Substation, or his designee, has the authority to determine whether snow removal equipment will or may be operating and based upon that determination, designate the applicable winter enforcement period.  Winter enforcement periods consist of the following:

A "Red" day will be declared when there is a chance of snow in the forecast or if snow removal equipment may be operating.

A "Green"  day will be declared when there is no chance of snow in the forecast and snow removal equipment is not working.

Any vehicle in violation of this ordinance may be ordered to be removed, towed and/or cited.  The registered owner shall be responsible for all costs of such removal, and neither the State of Nevada, County of Washoe, nor any traffic or peace officer shall be liable for any damages that may occur to a vehicle as a result of removal and/or storage.  It is the responsibility of the General Public to know if a Red, or Green Day is in effect.

Information on Red & Green days can be obtained at the 24-hour hotline at (775) 833-5555 or the Road Department at (775) 832-4125.

The Sheriff's Office and County Road Department would also like to remind the community that any other parking prohibitions, such as NRS 484.418 which prohibits the storage of vehicles, boats, etc. on public highways, including county easements, are still in effect.
