If a contractor is observed doing so they will be cited and fined by the City of Lackawanna.

This Ordinance is in place to protect both the residents and City alike. Applications can be obtained at the City Clerk’s Office at City Hall, 2838 South Park Avenue, Room 101. The fee is $25.00 per vehicle, with proof of insurance required. Each vehicle utilized for snow removal purposes must have its own permit; it must remain visible on the vehicle and is not transferrable between vehicles. Permits are valid for one-year, from Sept 1 through August 31. Residents that plow their own snow are exempt from Chapter 188. You may contact the City Clerk’s office at 827-6452 with any questions.
