Sidewalks

City ordinance mandates that property owners replace defective, unsafe, or hazardous sidewalks and drive approaches.

The City of Dallas offers a Sidewalk Replacement Program, splitting sidewalk replacement costs 50/50 with property owners. After inquiring, expect a property assessment and quote by mail within 2-3 months. Completion takes 3-9 months from payment, depending on demand. Hazardous sidewalks qualify for temporary asphalt repairs; request these by calling (214) 670-3111. To join the cost share program for sidewalk replacement, contact the City at (214) 948-4127 or (214) 948-4287.

For drive approaches, property owners are responsible for 100% of removal and replacement costs.

Street and Alley Repairs
