We are no longer accepting residential or commercial 50/50 Program applications for the 2026 season. Please check back in early 2027 for updates.
Sidewalk repairs
Who’s responsible for sidewalk repairs?
If you own property next to a sidewalk, driveway approach, or curb and gutter, you’re responsible for keeping them in good shape—even though they’re in the public right-of-way (City Ordinance 14.32.305). You can hire your own contractor to make repairs, but you’ll need a permit to do the work.
For more information about permits, contact the Engineering Division at 801-535-6203 or email [email protected].
Help with repair costs (50/50 Program)
If you own a single-family home, you may qualify for Salt Lake City’s 50/50 Concrete Program. This program splits the cost of repairs between you and the City. If you own a commercial property, you must pay the full cost up front before the work can be scheduled. We have limited seasonal availability, the work is weather-dependent, and there will be a waiting period before work begins.
The City does have limited funding for sidewalk repairs in emergencies, on City property, for special projects, or when a City-owned tree has caused damage.
What repairs are included in the 50/50 Program?
- Sidewalk
- Driveway approach
- Curb and gutter repair or replacement
