Lead paint regulations in Lincoln follow federal EPA requirements since Nebraska has not obtained delegated authority for the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) program. Contractors disturbing lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, childcare facilities, and schools must be EPA RRP-certified. Work practices must minimize dust and debris, prevent contamination outside the work area, and include proper cleanup and verification. Nebraska's Residential Lead-Based Paint Professions Practice Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. 71-6318 to 71-6331.01) establishes state licensing for lead professionals. Sellers must disclose known lead-based paint hazards before transferring pre-1978 property. Contact Lincoln Action Center at (402) 441-7511 for enforcement and current rules.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
