FAQs

Does your sidewalk look like this and need to be replaced?

cracked sidewalk

The City of Dearborn Heights has started the 2023 Sidewalk Replacement Program.

Residents can have their sidewalk slabs replaced at a much lower cost through the City Sidewalk Contractor, Villanova Construction Company, rather than finding their own contractor.

The cost to the Resident is $375 per regular sidewalk slab, and/or $550 per driveway sidewalk slab, plus a flat $75 administration fee which covers the cost of the permit.

To fill out an application, please visit the Building Department during normal business hours: Monday - Thursday, 8 am to 5 pm.

For more information, please contact the Building Department by phone at 313-791-3470 or Email Building Department.
