Omaha massage therapy businesses must hold a city occupational license under Chapter 14, and individual therapists must be licensed through the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services under the Massage Therapy Practice Act.
Massage establishments operating within Omaha city limits register with the city under Code Chapter 14 occupational licensing. Practitioners must hold an active state massage therapy license issued by Nebraska DHHS Division of Public Health, with a minimum 1,000 hours of approved training. Establishments face additional zoning review when locating in mixed-use districts. The state regulates practice scope, while Omaha enforces premises, signage, and operating-hour standards through Permits and Inspections.
Operating without a city license or employing unlicensed therapists may bring license revocation, fines under Chapter 14, and state disciplinary action by Nebraska DHHS.
