Lincoln, Neb., Mun. Code ch. 21.56 § 21.56.110
Miscellaneous Requirements
Operative Text
(a) Responsibilities of the court management. The person, firm, or corporation to whom a license is issued to operate the mobile home court or trailer court shall operate said court in strict compliance with the provisions of this chapter and of the special permit provisions of the City Council and shall provide adequate supervision to maintain the court, its related facilities, roadways, walkways, open spaces, utilities and equipment in good repair and in a clean and sanitary condition. Said licensee shall be responsible to see that all plumbing, heating, and electrical connections, alterations and additions comply with the requirements of this chapter. No structural additions of any kind shall be constructed, or become any part of a mobile home , trailer , accessory building or service facility until it meets the approval of the Building Official and is constructed under proper permit issued by the Building Official. The court licensee shall supervise the placement of each mobile home unit or trailer unit upon its stand and shall be responsible for insuring its compliance with an approved foundation system and notification to the Building Official when new units are placed. (b) Responsibilities of court occupants. The occupants of any mobile home or trailer shall comply with all applicable requirements of this chapter and shall maintain his mobile home space or trailer space , its facilities and equipment in good repair and in a clean and sanitary condition. The occupants of any mobile home or trailer shall be responsible to see that all plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical connections, alterations and additions comply with the requirements of this chapter. No structural additions of any kind shall be constructed, or become any part of a mobile home, trailer, accessory building or service facility until it meets the approval of the Building Official and is constructed under proper permit issued by the Building Official. The mobile home or trailer occupant may be served with notices of noncompliance together with the court licensee. (Ord. 10875 §11; July 30, 1973).
Lincoln Municipal Code § 21.56.110 divides responsibility for mobile home and trailer court compliance between the court operator (licensee) and the individual occupants. The licensed operator must keep the entire court—including roads, utilities, and common facilities—in good repair and sanitary condition, and must ensure that all plumbing, heating, and electrical work meets code requirements. Individual occupants bear parallel responsibility for their own spaces and connections, and neither the operator nor an occupant may add any structural element to a mobile home, trailer, or accessory building without prior approval and a permit from the Building Official. Both parties may receive notices of noncompliance simultaneously.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 21.56.110, a compliant mobile home or trailer court licensee actively supervises the placement of each new unit on its stand, verifies that an approved foundation system is in place, and promptly notifies the Building Official when new units arrive. Operators generally ensure that all plumbing, heating, and electrical work—whether performed by staff or by occupants—meets the chapter's requirements before connections are made or alterations proceed. Because structural additions require Building Official approval and a proper permit, operators typically establish clear written procedures so that neither they nor their occupants initiate unpermitted construction.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 21.56.110 makes clear that mobile home and trailer occupants in Lincoln carry their own affirmative duty to keep their space, facilities, and equipment in good repair and in a sanitary condition, separate from whatever obligations the court licensee holds. Occupants are also responsible for ensuring that any plumbing, heating, cooling, or electrical alterations comply with the chapter, and no structural addition may be built without Building Official approval and a permit. Importantly, the provision allows noncompliance notices to be served on occupants directly alongside the court licensee, so tenants who receive such a notice may wish to review the specific requirements of Chapter 21.56, consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with manufactured-housing regulations, or contact the relevant Lincoln city office for guidance on next steps.
