  • Property owners may experience delays in sod replacement (if required) due to seasonal availability.

Cost Share Program

  • The City partners with residents to share the cost 50/50 for existing residential sidewalk removal and replacement. Note, all single family residences are eligible to participate in this program including condominiums and townhomes.
  • In addition, the property owner will pay 100% for the cost of drive approach removal and replacement. The City pays for all other miscellaneous items including barrier free ramps.
  • Sidewalk removal and replacement are logged in by the date received.
  • From the initial inquiry it takes two to three months to assess the property and provide a quote by mail. From the time of payment it is approximately three (3) to nine (9) months depending on demand to project completion.
  • Sidewalk hazardous conditions are eligible for temporary asphalt repairs.  Please call (214) 670-3111 to request temporary repairs.
