Can the cost of the sidewalk repair be added to the property taxes?
If the City completes the sidewalk repair, the property owner will receive an invoice after the work is done and the contract has been completed. If the invoice is not paid within 30-days, the amount will be assessed to the property and interest will be added to the total. Once a year, normally in October or November, all unpaid invoices are referred to the City Council for collection though property tax assessment. For sidewalk replacement, the period of time that this assessment will run on the property taxes is five years.
