As in many other cities, the Portland City Code states that property owners must keep sidewalks in good repair so that they are free of tripping hazards and other safety hazards for pedestrians and people in wheelchairs.
Did you receive a Sidewalk Repair Notice?
You receive a sidewalk repair notice when the City receives a complaint of a hazardous sidewalk condition in front or near to your property. Find more information on mandated sidewalk repairs.
Do you want to voluntarily repair your sidewalk?
If you are a property owner and want to repair your sidewalk, curb, or driveway apron, you or your contractor must have a Minor Improvement Permit (MIP). Learn more about voluntary sidewalk repair permits.
