In Jefferson Township, sidewalks are generally the responsibility of the abutting property owner. The Township's sidewalk policy provides a consistent procedure for evaluating the need for the construction, repair and/or maintenance of sidewalks.
Residents interested in repairing sidewalk sections abutting their property will need to apply for a Right-of-Way permit. You can apply online on our zoning portal. Once you create an account, select the application for "Right-of-Way Excavation Permit", sub type "Sidewalk Repair". Learn more on our website.
Residents interested in reporting damaged or unsafe sidewalk sections can submit a service ticket for review by the service department. https://www.jeffersontownship.org/Contact-Us
