The 2020 Shared Cost Sidewalk Program will open to new applicants starting at 6 a.m. on January 7, 2020 and conclude at 5:59 a.m. on January 8, 2020.
The Shared Cost Sidewalk Program is an extremely popular voluntary program in which property owners share the cost of sidewalk repair with the City. Thousands of Chicagoans have been a part of this popular program, taking advantage of the low cost, exceptional value, and ease of participation. The Shared Cost Sidewalk Program cost per square foot charged to property owners is well below what a private contractor would charge. Senior citizens and persons with disabilities may qualify for a further discounted rate.
Applications will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. The number of participants is based on availability of funds. The program typically reaches capacity quickly, so you are encouraged to apply early.
Please note that if you applied for the program in previous years, you must apply again in 2020 if you wish to be considered for the 2020 program. Applications will only be accepted through the City's 311 system by calling 311 or through the City's service request website 311.chicago.gov. The property owner's contact information and the property address are required at the time of request.
Click on the links below for more information on the program.
As always, residents can report other sidewalk conditions to 311 by phone or via the city website.
