Ogden, UT Sidewalk & Pedestrian Rules: Sidewalk Repair (2026)

Ogden City Code chapter 7-7 governs repair of defective sidewalks, curbs and gutters. " Section 7-7-2 sets four ways defective concrete gets fixed and paid for: an owner may voluntarily hire a licensed contractor at the owner's sole cost under City Engineer-approved specifications (subsection A); the owner may join the Sidewalk/Curb and Gutter Replacement Program and pay 50 percent in advance (subsection B, tied to § 7-7-7); a developer or owner must replace it at their own cost when required as a condition of site plan approval for new development (subsection C); or the city may create a municipal improvement district and assess the adjacent owner for the benefit received (subsection D).

Under § 7-7-7, the replacement program is funded through the city's annual budget, is limited to single-family residential properties and properties in residential zones, runs first come first served, and requires the qualifying owner to deposit 50 percent of the City Engineer's estimated cost before work starts, with a true-up (refund or added bill) once actual costs are known. Owners may instead self-perform the work under subsection H with a no-fee excavation permit, city-standard workmanship, and reimbursement for materials capped at 50 percent of the city's per-square-foot contract cost, but no reimbursement for labor or cleanup.
