If city workers do it later (and they aren't too strict), the cost gets added to the owner's tax bill. But seniors and disabled people are exempted, the city will do theirs for them. You need to talk to your council!
In St John's, Newfoundland, as I understand, there is no shoveling bylaw and nobody does it. Roads get plowed, though, so that's where you find the pedestrians. Makes the winter walk somewhat dangerous... they get more snow than Toronto!

I thought that Toronto calls in the army to shovel their snow.
The rest of Canada will never forget.
