Showing ordinances that apply to King Lake, NE
King Lake is an unincorporated community (population 114) in Douglas County, Nebraska. Because King Lake is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Douglas County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The rental registration rules below are the ones that govern your area.
City of Omaha requires rental property registration under Municipal Code Chapter 48 Article XII. Unincorporated Douglas County does not have a county-level rental registration program. Annual registration fee and periodic code compliance inspections apply inside Omaha.
Rental units within Omaha city limits must be registered with the City of Omaha Permits and Inspections Division under the Omaha Property Maintenance Code (Chapter 48, Article XII). Registration is renewed annually and the owner must provide a local contact for code issues. Omaha operates a Rental Housing Inspection Program targeting properties with repeat code complaints; inspections verify smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, egress windows, working heat, plumbing, and structural integrity under the International Property Maintenance Code as adopted. Outside Omaha (Ralston, Valley, Waterloo, Boys Town, Bennington, and unincorporated areas), no county-wide registration applies — each municipality or the county relies on complaint-driven property maintenance enforcement. Lead-based paint disclosure is federally required for pre-1978 rentals.
Failure to register an Omaha rental: citation under Omaha Municipal Code §48-161 et seq., fines up to $500 per day of violation. Renting an uninhabitable unit: order to vacate, repair, or demolish; criminal penalty up to $500 and/or 6 months in jail per count. Failure to correct after inspection: placarding and rental prohibition until compliance.
