🚶‍♂️ Who Owns the Sidewalk in Front of Your House? | Real Estate Tips for Homeowners | Dear Claire

Описание: On this episode of Dear Claire, Claire Paris, Principal Broker at Paris Group Realty, LLC in Portland, Oregon, breaks down an important but often confusing question: Who owns and maintains the sidewalk in front of your home?

When you buy a house, it’s essential to understand not just your property lines, but also your responsibilities as a homeowner—including maintenance of adjacent public spaces like sidewalks.

Here’s what you need to know:
🏡 In Portland, Oregon, the city owns the sidewalk, the parking strip, and the setback area.
🛠️ Homeowners are responsible for maintaining and repairing the sidewalk under local ordinances.
🚗 If a curb is separated from the sidewalk by a parking strip, the city maintains it. If the curb and sidewalk are connected, the homeowner is responsible for both!

Understanding your property maintenance responsibilities can help you avoid fines, protect your property value, and keep your neighborhood safe and beautiful. Claire shares clear, helpful advice to ensure you stay informed as a homeowner!
