Building & Safety

Welcome to the City of Lincoln's Building and Safety Department. Our mission is to promote the quality of life for Lincoln's residents through fire, housing, and building code enforcement.

As part of the Development Services Center, we work with other city and county agencies –Health, Planning, Transportation and Utilities, and Urban Development – to streamline the construction process as well as to promote a safe community for the residents of Lincoln and of Lancaster County.
