The new Sidewalk Repair Program application window is now open to residents.
Commerce City’s new Sidewalk Repair Program is aimed at helping homeowners repair hazardous sidewalks and improve neighborhood safety and accessibility. Under the program’s cost-sharing structure, the city will cover 50% of the repair cost, with the property owner responsible for the remaining 50%.
Under Section 6-2012 of the Commerce City Revised Municipal Code, property owners are responsible for maintaining sidewalks adjacent to their property and keeping them free of hazards. The new program provides a city-managed solution with cost-sharing assistance to help residents address qualifying sidewalk issues.
The Sidewalk Repair Program recognizes the importance of safe, accessible, and well-maintained infrastructure. This program and the allocated funding will help enhance mobility, quality of life for residents, and safety improvements across the community.
The 2026 application window will run from May 1 through June 30. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until funding is exhausted. The program will begin with $100,000 in city funding. Future funding levels will be determined through the city’s annual budget process.
Homeowners earning less than 80% of the Area Median Income may qualify for a full waiver of their portion of the cost. Income eligibility is based on guidelines from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and additional documentation will be required during the application process. Eligible properties include single-family detached and attached homes located within Commerce City limits that have sidewalks adjacent to the public right-of-way.
