The City and County of Denver is currently developing the first Sidewalk Implementation Plan that will be our roadmap for repairing hazardous sidewalks, widening deficient sidewalks, and building missing sidewalks. The Sidewalk Implementation Plan will answer the questions of where, when, and how the sidewalk program will build a complete sidewalk network for all Denverites.
Starting in 2025, the new fee for sidewalks has been included on people’s bi-annual stormwater bills, with half the annual sidewalk fee assessed the first half of the year and second half of the sidewalk fee assessed the second half of the year. Use the fee lookup tool to confirm your annual sidewalk charge based on your address and property frontage.
In 2026, the annual flat fee is set at $150/year. The fee is included on bi-annual stormwater bills, with half of the annual flat fee assessed the first half of the year, and the second half of the sidewalk fee assessed the second half of the year.
Property owners with more than 230 linear feet of frontage that abuts the public right-of-way will pay the $150 base rate and an impact fee of $3.50 for every foot of frontage over 230 feet.
At locations where sidewalks don’t currently exist, property owners will pay either the flat fee or flat fee with impact fee, based on the length of frontage to the public right-of-way.
Use our fee lookup tool to find your address and property frontage to confirm your 2026 sidewalk fee. If you have questions about your 2026 fee, please contact the DOTI Utility Billing Team at wmdcustomerservice@denvergov.org.
