Garden City council confirms 2024–25 sidewalk assessment roll, sets Feb. 1, 2026 billing date
Summary
The Garden City City Council voted 7–0 Dec. 8 to confirm the special-assessment roll for the 2024–25 sidewalk program and set a Feb. 1, 2026 billing date; DPW reported roughly 3,000 properties were inspected and about 655 required replacement work, which was completed in July.
Garden City — The City Council voted unanimously on Dec. 8 to approve a resolution confirming Special Assessment Roll 42402024 for the 2024–25 sidewalk program and to set the billing date for Feb. 1, 2026.
The vote follows a presentation from DPW Director Brad Oman, who told the council the program inspected roughly 3,000 properties in the city’s southwest area and found about 655 properties needed sidewalk replacement. Oman said the replacement work was completed in July and that the council’s action gives staff authority to bill property owners for the work.
The council packet listed typical unit prices used to calculate assessments: $228.56 for a 4" 5x5 concrete flag and $257.75 for a 6" 5x5 flag. A resident during the public hearing asked whether assessments would be billed directly or placed on property tax bills; staff and the clerk confirmed bills will be mailed to property owners and that, if left unpaid by the due date, assessments can be placed on the tax roll. The council set Feb. 1, 2026 as the billing date.
Mayor Pro Tem Dole moved to approve the attached resolution confirming the assessment roll; the motion carried 7–0. The council closed the public hearing before taking the vote.
What happens next: property owners will receive mailed assessment notices; unpaid special assessments will default to the tax roll after the date specified in the resolution.
