Omaha requires rental property registration and inspection through its Rental Housing Inspection Program. Rental dwellings must be registered with the city and are subject to periodic inspections to ensure compliance with housing and building codes.
Omaha's Rental Housing Inspection Program requires owners of rental properties to register their properties with the city. Properties are inspected on a rotating basis (typically every 3-5 years) to ensure compliance with the International Property Maintenance Code as adopted. The program focuses on ensuring safe and habitable conditions including working plumbing, electrical, heating, and structural integrity. Registration fees apply. Landlords must correct identified violations within specified timeframes.
Failure to register rental properties may result in fines. Properties with uncorrected violations may face escalating enforcement action including daily fines, condemnation, and prohibition of occupancy until violations are corrected.
