Nebraska Code Path

What a Nebraska set has to satisfy

Tell us the city or county in Nebraska, the pool type and which drawings you need. Include any project checklist or review comments so the scope can address your specific submission.

Request a fixed-price quote for your plan set. The quote sets out the included drawings, revision allowance and estimated delivery date before work begins.

Plans are sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in Nebraska, who reviews the package and takes responsible charge before applying their seal.

Nebraska at a Glance

Nebraska pool permit requirements

The state-level rules your drawings are checked against. Cities and counties can add local amendments, so send the jurisdiction with your enquiry.

Residential code
2018 IRC is the state building code (Neb. Rev. Stat. 71-6403); cities, counties and villages that enforce a code must adopt it or a local code that conforms generally (71-6406).
Pool barriers
Set by local ordinance or the locally adopted code; no state pool barrier statute.
Contractor licensing
No state license for residential pool contractors; contractors must register with the Nebraska Department of Labor under the Contractor Registration Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. 48-2104), with local licensing in some cities.
Public pools
Nebraska DHHS, 178 NAC 2 Design, Construction, Operation, and Maintenance of Public Swimming Pools; plans need written DHHS approval and a construction permit before construction (178 NAC 2-003).
Engineer licensing
Nebraska Board of Engineers and Architects
Questions

Frequently Asked

Which residential code do Nebraska jurisdictions use for pool permits?

The state building code is the 2018 IRC under Neb. Rev. Stat. 71-6403. Cities, counties and villages that enforce a code must adopt it or a generally conforming local code, so pool and barrier amendments vary locally.

Who approves public pool plans in Nebraska?

The Department of Health and Human Services. Under 178 NAC 2-003, plans prepared by a design professional are submitted for written approval, and construction cannot begin until DHHS approves final plans and issues a construction permit.

Are your Nebraska pool plans sealed by a Nebraska-licensed engineer?

Yes. A Professional Engineer licensed in Nebraska reviews the package, takes responsible charge and applies their seal. You receive a submission-ready set for your Nebraska jurisdiction.
