Sidewalks in the City of Pittsburgh
Inside the City of Pittsburgh, the sidewalk in front of a home is the owner's to keep up, and repairing or replacing it needs a permit from the City. Other towns in the county set their own rules.
Your contractor can tell you what your job needs before any work starts.
What good sidewalk work includes
- A City permit before work starts, where one is needed
- A compacted base so slabs stay level
- Joints that line up with the slabs next door
- A slight slope so water runs to the street
- Clean edges at your steps and the curb
Sidewalk Notices, Repair Help and Handrails
The first two answers apply inside the City of Pittsburgh. Other towns in the county set their own rules.
Got a Sidewalk Notice From the City?
A written notice gives you time to get the sidewalk repaired, and you can ask the City for more time. If the repair is not done, the City can have it done and recover the cost from the owner.
Can the City Help Pay for a Sidewalk Repair?
In the areas it picks each year, the City's sidewalk repair program offers owners an interest-free payment plan, and owner-occupants income-based discounts. Asking to take part does not get your sidewalk cited.
If your street is not in this year's areas, or your notice has a deadline, a local contractor can give you a free estimate now.
Do My Steps Need a Handrail?
New steps with four or more risers need a handrail on at least one side under the building code. Ask for it in your estimate so it is part of the job from the start.

Steps, Sidewalk & Porch Questions
Who is responsible for the sidewalk in front of my house?
Inside the City of Pittsburgh, the property owner is. Other towns set their own rules, so check with yours or ask your contractor.
Do I need a permit to fix my sidewalk?
Inside the City of Pittsburgh, yes: sidewalk repair and replacement need a City permit. Other towns have their own rules, and your contractor can tell you what your job needs.
Can crumbling concrete steps be repaired?
Often. Chipped edges and worn treads can usually be patched or resurfaced. Steps that have pulled away from the house or cracked through usually need to be replaced. See concrete repair, and add photos to your free estimate request.
How much do new concrete steps or a sidewalk cost?
Across the US, poured concrete steps typically run $200 to $500 per step, and a new sidewalk $7 to $17 per square foot installed. Your price depends on the size, whether old concrete comes out and how easy the site is to reach. Your free estimate gives you a real number.
How long do new concrete steps take?
The work itself usually takes a few days. The concrete then needs time to cure before heavy use, and your contractor will tell you when the steps are ready.
Can I put salt on new concrete steps?
Not in their first winter. Use clean sand for grip instead. After that, use deicers sparingly, and never ones made with ammonium or magnesium, which damage concrete.
Can my steps match my patio or driveway?
Yes. Steps and porches can be stamped and colored to match a patio, or finished to match a driveway.
