I thought the town took care of sidewalks. Why do I have to pay for it?
Sidewalks in Flower Mound are the responsibility of the property owner. Cities throughout Texas handle sidewalk maintenance differently. Like many other cities, Flower Mound maintains sidewalks adjacent to arterial or collector streets and those adjacent to public property, all park trails, and handicap ramps on public streets. The town does not maintain sidewalks adjacent to private property. Early in Flower Mound’s history, town leaders made a policy decision to not incur the cost of sidewalk repair and replacement adjacent to private property. This decision allows the town to commit more of our limited funds to road building, expansion, and maintenance.
