It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to operate any mobile home court or trailer court within the jurisdictional limits of the City of Lincoln unless a valid annual license shall be issued for such court operation by the bureau of licenses and permits . Application for license and license renewal shall be made in writing to the Bureau of Licenses and Permits on a form furnished by them for such purpose and accompanied by a fee payable to said bureau in the amount of twenty-five dollars per court. Renewal of licenses shall be applied for within ten days of the anniversary date of the original issuance of the mobile home court or trailer court license. A license may be revoked as hereinafter described or renewal of a license refused if there are any written orders of noncompliance at the time of application for renewal with any of the provisions of this chapter or any other pertinent provisions of the Lincoln Municipal Code issued by the Building Official , Health Official or Fire Official of the City of Lincoln. Every mobile home court or trailer court licensee shall give notice in writing to the Bureau of Licenses and Permits within thirty days after having sold, transferred, given away, or otherwise disposed of interest in or control of the mobile home court or trailer court. Such notice shall include the name and address of the person, firm or corporation succeeding to the ownership or control of the mobile home court or trailer court. Upon application in writing for transfer of the license accompanied by a fee in the amount of ten dollars, the license may be transferred if the court is in compliance with the provisions of this chapter and all other pertinent laws and regulations. (Ord. 10875 §4, July 30, 1973).
Section 21.56.040 of the Lincoln Municipal Code establishes a mandatory annual licensing requirement for anyone operating a mobile home court or trailer court within Lincoln city limits. Operating without a valid license is unlawful, and licenses must be renewed within ten days of their anniversary date for a $25 fee. A license can be revoked or renewal denied if outstanding written noncompliance orders from the Building, Health, or Fire Official exist at the time of renewal. When ownership or control of a court changes hands, the licensee must notify the Bureau of Licenses and Permits within thirty days, and a $10 transfer fee applies to move the license to the new operator.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Lincoln Mun. Code § 21.56.040, operators of mobile home or trailer courts are generally expected to maintain a current annual license issued by the Bureau of Licenses and Permits and to submit renewal applications within ten days of the license anniversary date. Compliant operators typically resolve any outstanding noncompliance orders from the Building, Health, or Fire Official before seeking renewal, since open orders can result in denial or revocation. When a court changes ownership or control, operators customarily file written notice with the Bureau within thirty days and submit the $10 transfer application to keep the license in good standing.

Section 21.56.040 of the Lincoln Municipal Code requires that the mobile home or trailer court where you reside be operated under a valid annual license from the Bureau of Licenses and Permits. If a court is operating without a license, or if a license has been revoked due to unresolved noncompliance orders from city officials, that may be relevant information when raising concerns about habitability or code compliance. Residents who believe their court is operating unlawfully or out of compliance may consider contacting the Bureau of Licenses and Permits, the Building Official, the Health Official, or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options under § 21.56.040.
