1. Do I need a sidewalk permit to replace substandard sections of my sidewalk?

Yes. The purpose of the sidewalk permit is to ensure that the walk is constructed in accordance with city specifications. The permit is free, and available at the engineering office on the second floor of City Hall, 2424 14th Street. An inspection by the Engineering Department will be scheduled at that time, at no cost to the applicant.
