City of Portage, Indiana

The Mayor and the City Council are aware of the City's aging sidewalk infrastructure. Per the City ordinance it is the responsibility of the homeowner to maintain and repair sidewalks. In an effort to offset some of the cost to the homeowner, a sidewalk replacement program has been implemented. There is limited funding for this work and work will be prioritized based on need.

The Portage Street Department will provide the labor required to replace the sidewalks. The homeowner is responsible for the cost of the material. The material price is set at $2.00 per square foot. Multiply the length and the width of your sidewalk and multiply that figure by $2.00. That is the cost you would pay the City to replace your sidewalk.
