Notice

The Department of Transportation and Public Works (TPW) has temporarily closed cost-share applications and acceptance of payments at this moment. Due to high demand and popularity of the program we are working to get another construction contract. To know when the program will resume accepting applications, we recommend visiting our website or call (214) 948-4127 for additional information.

Sidewalk hazardous conditions are eligible for temporary asphalt repairs.  For temporary repair assistance, please call (214) 670-3111 or submit a service request through 311.  Please note that any sidewalk replacements by the property owner or by a private contractor must have a permit issued from the City of Dallas Permit Center, 320 E. Jefferson Blvd. Room 118 (for construction permit) and Room 321 (for Right-Of-Way permit), phone (214) 948-4290.​
