Sidewalk Replacement Program:
Streets are maintained by the city, but the repair and replacement of damaged sidewalk slabs are the responsibility of the homeowner whose property is adjacent to the sidewalk. To help with that responsibility, the City of Lancaster offers property owners the opportunity to improve the appearance and safety of their homes and neighborhoods with the 50/50 cost sharing Sidewalk Replacement Program.
For more information please contact 972-275-1752.
Lancaster Eyes & Ears Program:
The City of Lancaster Code Compliance Division is seeking volunteers to join the Lancaster Eyes and Ears program (LEEP)
The LEEP program will primarily perform duties in the field identifying code violations for code officers to perform further investigation. The program is intended to have volunteers aid city staff in improving and preserving the quality of life in our community. These volunteers will help act as the “eyes and ears” in residential and commercial neighborhoods to staff code compliance officers. Citizens are key to identifying potentially serious problems.
Qualifications:
Volunteers are requested to volunteer a minimum of 4 hours per week. Work schedules are flexible based on your availability but are limited to daytime hours. Volunteers must possess a Texas class “C” driver’s license, successfully complete a background check and drug test, and reside in the City of Lancaster.
