Did you know that there are
laws that may affect plans to
renovation or build at your home
or business?
If you are planning to remodel,
add an addition or any structure,
even a small shed or a fence, you
will want to know the standards set
forth in the ordinances and codes.
Codes protect homeowners and
assure that minimum standards
of construction are met. By
consulting your local zoning
office, you may save yourself some
expense and trouble, as well as
protect both your investment and
whoever buys your property in the
future by doing it right the first
time.
Below you will find a few areas the
city of Lincoln and Logan County
regulations address.
Within Lincoln city limits
If you are remodeling and live in
the city of Lincoln, you should be
aware that the city has adopted or
updated several building codes in
recent years.
For property changes in Lincoln
you would want to contact
Building and Zoning Officer John
Lebegue, located in the City Hall.
Stayin’ out
of trouble
with the law!
