Street Vacation / Alley Vacation.
The first step for a street vacation or alley vacation is to contact the City Clerk. An applicant must send a petition for vacating a section of street or alley, with a $50 fee. For further details, please review this PDF document of the vacation process: [Here]
After this, there is an appraisal of the street or alley in question, at the applicant’s expense. Once the applicant pays two-thirds (2/3rds) of the appraised value of the street or alley, the Board of Revisions of Assessments schedules a hearing on whether to recommend City Council vacate the street or alley.
Street Renaming.
The process for a street renaming is similar to the vacation of a street or alley. The first step is a petition to rename through the City Clerk, with a $50 fee.

The Board of Revisions of Assessments reviews the street renaming proposal and schedules a hearing on whether to recommend that City Council schedule the meeting.
