Snow Clearance

Action:
EOs may wish to use a paid for snow removal service for roughly $400 a season. This cannot be claimed for.

Info:
Each Exchange Officer is responsible for their own snow removal at their rental property. Please be aware that if you have a sidewalk (aka ‘pavement’) attached to your property, it is your responsibility to clear it so pedestrians on the sidewalk have a clear path. Please check your town/municipality website to know your responsibilities. Snow blowers are no longer provided as part of the furniture pack.

EOs are allowed snow shovels from their OFPS. Please check with BDLS Finance Administrator for the dollar amount you can purchase up to.
