Curb and Gutter Program

How it works

The City of Idaho Falls says this is a city program that works with property owners to replace curb and gutter and reimburse part of the cost. The city notes that maintenance of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks is the property owner’s responsibility, but the program can reduce the out-of-pocket cost of replacement.

What the money covers

The official page says qualifying curb and gutter replacement may receive reimbursement. It also says that if you qualify, the city will remove and haul away the curb and gutter, and any sidewalk being replaced at the same time, at no charge to you.

Amounts and matching

For 2026, the reimbursement amount for qualifying curb and gutter was $21.00 per linear foot. The city says the reimbursement amount depends on budgets and could change from year to year.

How to apply

The page says the homeowner must:

1. Complete and submit the Curb and Gutter Application Form.
2. Meet with a City Inspector after the application is received.
3. Hire a City-licensed right-of-way contractor who knows the city’s standard drawings and construction specifications.

Timing and deadlines

The page gives a 2026 reimbursement rate, but it does not state an application deadline on the page we reviewed.
