Short answer

Snow removal in Janesville runs $40 to $75 a push for a standard driveway and $400 to $900 for a residential season, by a local contractor's published 2026-27 prices. The city gives owners 12 hours after the snow stops to clear the public sidewalk, and bans pushing driveway snow into the street.

The Janesville rules that matter

Clear the public sidewalk: 12 hours
After a complaint: 24 hours, then the city bills you
Sidewalk ordinance penalty: up to $100
Car on the street in an emergency: $50 and a tow
Driveway snow into the street: not allowed

What gets cleared

From a single-car drive to an apartment lot

67.8% of Janesville's 29,330 homes are detached houses, so most of the work is driveways and the public walk in front of them. The rest is apartment lots, small business lots and rural drives out in the towns.

Each service, in short

Driveways, sidewalks, lots, contracts, salt and roofs

Driveway snow plowing

A truck plow clears the drive from the garage to the street and stacks the snow on your lawn, never across the road. $40 to $75 a push for a standard driveway, $60 to $120 for a rural drive of 300 feet or more. Ask whether the price covers a return for the windrow the city plow leaves. Driveway snow plowing

Sidewalk snow removal

The public sidewalk, the front walk, steps and stoop, by shovel or snow blower, inside Janesville's 12 hours (Beloit allows 48, Milton 24 for homes). $20 to $50 a visit added to a plow. Sidewalk snow removal

Commercial snow removal

Lots, drive lanes, entrances and the accessible route, open before the doors. A small Rock County lot runs $150 to $400 a push or $2,500 to $6,000 a season. Milton requires business walks clear by 10 a.m. Commercial snow removal

Seasonal snow contracts

One price for the winter, usually through March 31. $400 to $900 for a residential driveway, about the same as 12.7 average inch-plus snow days paid per push. Routes fill before the first snow. Seasonal snow contracts

Salting and ice control

Salt or sand on walks, steps and drives after a plow visit and on freezing-rain mornings. Janesville's rule says snow and ice; Beloit requires sand or salt where ice cannot come up. $20 to $60 a visit. Salting and ice control

Roof snow and ice dam removal

The lower roof raked before meltwater refreezes at the eaves, and ice dams steamed open when it already has. $200 to $700 for roof snow, $650 to $2,400 for a steam ice dam job. Roof snow and ice dam removal

How much snow

Janesville gets 36.6 inches in an average year

NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for the Janesville station average 36.6 inches a year, 28.6 inches of it in December, January and February. January is the snowiest month at 10.8 inches.

That works out to 12.7 days a year with an inch or more and 2 with five inches or more. Those big days are the ones that bring a city winter weather emergency, a plow at the end of every driveway, and a 12-hour clock on every sidewalk. More in how much snow Janesville gets.

Where the snow goes

Janesville ordinance 34-343 bans putting snow from a driveway, sidewalk or driveway approach into a city street or alley, and the city says plowing across the street is the violation it sees most. Edgerton bans it too, and Rock County cites state statute 346.94(5) for county roads. Snow gets stacked on your own lawn. The street rules

When the city declares an emergency

Every car has to be off city streets until plowing is done: a $50 ticket and a tow otherwise, with city lots free in the meantime. A driveway that is already plowed is where the car goes, which is why emergency nights start with the drive. Emergency parking

Per push or the season

The math with Janesville's own snow

12.7 inch-plus snow days a year at $40 to $75 a push comes to $508 to $953. A residential season runs $400 to $900. In an average winter they meet in the middle, so the deciding details are the trigger depth (how deep before a visit), whether the walks and salt are included, and whether you want to make a call at 5 a.m.

Light winter, home most mornings, happy to shovel the small ones: per push. Travel, early shifts, rentals, or a sidewalk on a 12-hour clock: the season. Per push vs seasonal, in full.

Common questions

Snow removal in Janesville: quick answers

How much does snow removal cost in Janesville?

A Janesville contractor publishes $40 to $75 per push for a standard driveway, $60 to $120 for long rural drives and $400 to $900 for a residential season (2026-27). Walks add $20 to $50 a visit and salting $20 to $60. Every range is on the cost page.

How long do I have to shovel my sidewalk in Janesville?

12 hours after the end of the winter weather event, under city ordinance 34-59. After a complaint the city leaves a door hanger with 24 hours, then clears the walk and bills the owner. Details in the sidewalk rules guide.

Can my driveway snow be pushed into the street?

No. Janesville ordinance 34-343 bans putting snow from a sidewalk, driveway or driveway approach onto a city street or alley, and Edgerton bans it too. The snow gets stacked on your own property.

What happens to my car in a Janesville winter weather emergency?

Every vehicle has to be off city streets until plowing is done, with a $50 ticket and a possible tow for any left behind. City-owned lots are free during the emergency. See emergency parking.

Is a seasonal contract cheaper than paying per push?

In an average winter it comes out close. Janesville averages 12.7 days a year with an inch or more of snow (NOAA), so $40 to $75 a push on all of them is $508 to $953, against $400 to $900 for a season. The comparison guide runs the numbers.

Do you plow in Beloit, Milton, Edgerton and Evansville?

Yes. The service area covers Janesville and the 4 other Rock County cities with published snow rules, each with its own page: Beloit, Milton, Edgerton and Evansville, plus the rural drives in between.

Do you clear roofs and ice dams?
