Source: Lancaster County Assessor, PublicAnalytics map service: Permits layer, read 19 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. The file carries no usable permit status, so it can't say which permits were finished, so no finished share is shown.
Building permits for properties with a Lincoln address, as logged by the Lancaster County Assessor. Lincoln Building & Safety issues permits for the city and the county around it, so a few rural properties with a Lincoln mailing address are included. The small towns of Lancaster County (Waverly, Hickman, Bennet, Firth and others) are not counted. Only permits that can change a property's assessed value are logged: no stand-alone electrical, plumbing or HVAC permits.
Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
