Question

The sidewalk in front of my home is cracked, crumbling, uneven, who is responsible?

Answer

The City of Evansville adopted a sidewalk policy in 2005 that allows property owners the opportunity to participate in the cost of having their sidewalks replaced. This policy has been modified since its inception in 2005 and is now a 50%-50% cost share between the property owners and the City of Evansville. You must be the owner of record of the abutting property to the sidewalk for which you are requesting repair. To participate in this cost sharing program, you must complete a petition form and mail it to the City Engineer's Office.
