I don't know how it works where you're from, but in Austin and San Antonio, sidewalks are payed for by the property owner or the developer of the land. Even after the city takes over ownership and maintenance of the streets, the sidewalks are still the responsibility of the land owner. Sidewalks are rarely payed for by taxes.
