Irving splits sidewalk replacement costs 50/50 with property owners. The city pays half for deteriorated or broken sidewalks. Contact Public Works Streets Division at (972) 721-2201.
Irving has a sidewalk cost-sharing program where the city pays half the cost to replace deteriorated or broken sidewalks, with the property owner responsible for the other half. This applies to public sidewalks adjacent to residential properties. Property owners are also responsible for trimming vegetation that blocks sidewalks and maintaining 14-foot clearance over alleys and easements. Sidewalk damage caused by city-owned trees may be handled differently. New sidewalk construction in developments is the developer's responsibility. ADA-compliant curb ramps are typically the city's responsibility. Contact the Traffic and Transportation Streets Division at (972) 721-2201 or email traffic@irvingtx.gov for sidewalk inquiries.
Property owners may be cited for vegetation blocking sidewalks. Non-ADA compliant sidewalks must be remediated.
