Building and 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. 

The city’s online plan review system, ProjectDox, will be unavailable from Wednesday, June 4, to Friday, June 6 for a scheduled upgrade. This includes applications for Building and Safety, LTU and Planning permits. We appreciate your patience as we work to improve our systems and service.
