Who is responsible for the sidewalk in front of my house?

If the sidewalk is attached to the curb, the City is responsible. If the sidewalk is separated (detached) from the street curb, the property owner is responsible for repairing and constructing the sidewalk along the property frontage. https://library.municode.com/co/fort_lupton/codes/municipal_code?nodeId=CH11STSIPUPR_ARTISICUGU
