A sidewalk situated on private property, such as the entry way to a commercial building or church, is private property.Sidewalks along the street are treated differently.

In that case, although the sidewalk is on private property the public has the right to use it for passage.

Yes, it can be legal for a city to convert a private road into a public street, but the specifics depend on local laws and ordinances. If this conversion occurs, the property owners may still be liable for property taxes, as the road's status change does not necessarily exempt the property from taxation. Property owners may also have the right to challenge such actions, especially if they feel it affects their property rights or value. It’s advisable to consult with a local attorney for guidance based on specific circumstances.
