Making a Claim with the Town

If you believe your property has been damaged or you have been injured as a result of actions by the Town of Sidney, and you wish to make a claim against the Town, you may do so by completing and submitting a Claim Form.  Please ensure you provide your email contact information, details surrounding the damage or injury and appropriate documentation.

 Under the Local Government Act, you have up to two months from the date the damage or injury occurred to submit your claim.

Once you have submitted your claim you will receive acknowledgement from the Town.  The claim will be referred to the Town’s insurer and a thorough investigation into the claim will commence. Please note the investigation may take several weeks (i.e. 4-6) to complete and you will be contacted directly by the Town’s insurer as to the status of your claim.

The submission of a claim does not constitute acceptance of liability on the part of the Town. The Town is committed to settlements that are fair, reasonable and within standard industry municipal practice. If the Town is legally liable for property damage, the Town will only consider reimbursement following receipt of copies of paid claim related invoices.
