Trim Your Trees

According to City of Tea Ordinance Section 9.05 (c) Municipal Trees states in part: It is the duty of all property owners to prune trees in such mater that they do not obstruct or shade the street lights, obstruct the passage of pedestrians on sidewalks, obstruct the vision of traffic signs, or obstruct the view of any street or alley intersection. The minimum clearance of any overhanging portion shall be 10 feet whenever practical and 12 feet overall streets except truck thoroughfares where the clearances shall be from 14 to 16 feet.

Snow Removal

Sidewalks must be cleared within 24 hours after a snowfall.

When a snow alert is issued, vehicles must be removed from all streets or will be ticketed towed. Snow alert notices issued to KELO, KDLT & KSFY TV Stations.

If your vehicle has been towed, please contact the Tea Police Department Non-Emergency Phone Number at (605) 498-5577 to locate your vehicle.

Snowplow drivers make every effort to plow as close to the mailboxes as possible. But during heavy snowfalls, especially on cul-de-sacs, it is very difficult to completely clear the snow without risking damage to the mailbox post itself. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the resident to remove snow from around the mailbox to assure uninterrupted delivery of mail. It is also the homeowner's responsibility to repair broken mailboxes due to snow coming off of the plow blade.
