Sarpy County, NE Building Setbacks & Zoning: Setback Rules (2026)

Unlike states where every parcel sits in a city, Nebraska counties zone their unincorporated land, and Sarpy County does exactly that through its Zoning Regulations. Minimum yards are set district by district. In the AG Agricultural Farming District, Section 9.4.1 holds a dwelling 100 feet from the front line, 50 feet from side lines, and 25 feet from the rear, with accessory buildings kept to 15-foot side and rear yards. Residential and smaller-lot districts carry their own tables. Section 34 adds general yard rules, corner-lot vision triangles, and lets minor features like eaves project into a required yard. Land inside Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, and Gretna follows each city's own zoning, not the county's.
