Who is responsible for the public sidewalk in front of my house?
The property owner is responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of all public sidewalk that abuts any portion of the property. Permits are required for repair or replacement of public sidewalk. There is no charge for a permit for five squares of walk or less but an inspection is required prior to placement of the concrete. The City has an annual sidewalk repair program to repair sidewalks.
