Investigative Procedures

Existing housing structures such as single family homes, duplexes, apartment buildings, and congregate living facilities are some of Lincoln's most important assets. It is vital that these structures are maintained in such a way to provide safe and healthy living conditions to all Lincoln residents. Please this page for Property Investigations and Investigative procedure steps.

Residential Rental Registrations

If there has been an investigative procedure started on the rental property you own then it will need to have a residential rental registration.

Neglected Building Registry

If there is a building that is neglected in the city of Lincoln it needs to be part of neglected Building Registry.

Short Term Rentals

In June 2021 the City of Lincoln enacted an ordinance providing a legal process to operate a short-term rental within the Lincoln city limits. This process involves acquiring a short-term rental license through the Building and Safety Department.
