Ferndale sidewalk notice: your district's turn.
The short answer
Ferndale repairs sidewalks district by district on a recurring program: owners in the district are notified, and the repair is charged to the property as a special assessment. Owners may do their own repairs with a Building Department permit. Lemus can price the notice from a photo.

How it works in Ferndale
Your district comes up
Ferndale's program works through the city district by district.
Notice
Owners in the district are notified of the repairs at their property.
Assessment or your own repair
The city's repair is assessed to the property, or you repair it yourself under a Building Department permit.
Why does Ferndale charge for the sidewalk?
The repair of the walk in front of a property is assessed to that property. Ferndale runs it as a recurring district program, so every part of the city comes up in turn.
Can I do the repair myself in Ferndale?
Yes, with a permit from the Building Department. Check the deadline on your notice before booking.

What should I send for a quote?
A photo of the notice and of the slabs it names.
Is the price on a city assessment the price I'd pay you?
Not necessarily. A city contract price sizes the job; ours comes from the slabs themselves.
