The 50/50 Cost Share Program for Sidewalk Repair
The City of Fort Wayne cost sharing program for sidewalk repair is a great option for residents seeking to partner with the city in having improvements made in their neighborhood. Under this program, the City and the petitioning resident (or residents) will pay 50 percent of the cost of the repairs. Here's how it works:
STEP 1 -- Decide if you want to fix an individual sidewalk or an entire block.
STEP 2 -- Go to the City of Fort Wayne website to fill out a petition -- individual property petition and block/multiple properties petition.
STEP 3 -- Submit the petition to the Board of Public Works Office for further processing. The office is located in Citizens Square, 200 E. Berry St., Suite 210.
After your petition has been submitted, the City's Division of Public Works will provide a cost estimate of the sidewalk repairs. If you wish to proceed, the project will be scheduled for repair and the City will pay for 50 percent of the cost of the repair work and you will pay 50 percent for the cost of the work. Sidewalk repair costs are calculated per sidewalk slab or square (usually 5' x 5'). Please contact the office for further details regarding current concrete repair cost quotes.
Payments can be made in full one time or homeowners can take advantage of our low-interest loans (3%). Payments can be made over the course of 10 years on an annual or monthly bases. Below are examples of what payments might be, if financed through this program.
