Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV (2026) § 13-357

Plain English

Under Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-357, conciliation agreements reached through the city's fair housing process are generally made available to the public. The default rule favors transparency, but both the complainant and the respondent may jointly agree to keep the agreement private, subject to the director's determination that confidentiality would not undermine the purposes of the article. This provision balances the public interest in open government with the parties' interest in resolving disputes discreetly.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers who reach a conciliation agreement under Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-357 should be aware that the terms of that agreement are presumptively public record. Operators who wish to keep the agreement confidential generally need the complainant's agreement and the director's approval that non-disclosure is consistent with the article's goals. Understanding this default transparency rule is an important part of evaluating how to approach the conciliation process.

For Tenants

Under Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-357, a tenant who enters into a conciliation agreement has the right to know that the agreement will ordinarily be made public, which can serve as a form of accountability. If both parties prefer confidentiality, they may jointly request it, but the director must still determine that keeping it private does not conflict with the article's fair housing purposes. Tenants interested in understanding how this disclosure rule may affect their situation can consult a local tenant-rights organization or the city's fair housing office for general information.
