Sidewalk Partnership Program
If you have a damaged sidewalk or one that could be a safety hazard, the City of Edmond has a program that could assist you in having the sidewalk repaired.
Your City Council adopted and funded a program to assist residential homeowners repair sidewalks that are in the city’s right of way.
The following criteria will help you determine if your sidewalk qualifies for the program:
- Your property is located in the corporate (city) limits of the City of Edmond.
- Your home construction is fully completed; it is located in an established area or neighborhood and is currently occupied.
- You agree to all of the terms and conditions of the program.
- You will provide the matching funds before the construction or repair.
The damage to your sidewalk falls within one of these categories:
- The deterioration in your sidewalk has resulted in buckling or jutting that extends at least one inch above the rest of the sidewalk and is a safety hazard for pedestrians.
- Your sidewalk has an area or areas that have settled at least one inch below the rest of the sidewalk.
- Your sidewalk has cracks or separations that are at least 1 ½ inches wide.
- Your sidewalk has sections that are missing or sections that have so many cracks that pedestrians cannot step from one section of the sidewalk to another.
Program Provisions
The City of Edmond will identify and recommend maintenance options that include:
- materials
- tree removal

If your sidewalk qualifies, the City will pay for 70% of the repair or replacement costs. For every $100 of work, you pay only $30!
