Sidewalk Replacement Program

The Charter Township of Kalamazoo offers a program to assist residential property owners with the replacement of sidewalk squares that are in disrepair. The Township may reimburse a property owner for 50% of the cost to repair sections of sidewalk determined by the Ordinance Enforcement Officer to be in disrepair. The maximum subsidy per parcel is $500. Applications are accepted on a first come, first served basis until the Township’s annual Sidewalk Replacement Fund is exhausted.

Sidewalk squares will be considered in disrepair if any of the following criteria exist:

• Potholes of one or more inches in depth
• A height difference of two or more inches in adjoining sections of sidewalks
• Insufficient slope to adequately drain the water away from the surface

Contact the Ordinance Enforcement Officer with any questions.
