Local offices by question

Use the City or Lancaster County office that fits the question

For citywide office orientation, Lincoln lies within Lancaster County, but the City and County are separate governments. Start with City Building Safety for a City permit or building-safety question; county assessor, tax, deed, and court records have separate county routes. Confirm current instructions with the office and the property address.

City of Lincoln Building Safety

For a Lincoln city building-safety, inspection, or permit question, start with the City’s Building Safety page and provide the property address. Check the current City instructions for the question you have.

City Building Safety ↗

Lancaster County Assessor

The Nebraska Department of Revenue directory lists the Lancaster County Assessor at 555 S. 10th Street, Lincoln, NE 68508, phone 402-441-7463, and links the County parcel-search route. Use the address when asking about an assessment or parcel record.

Lancaster County Treasurer

The Department of Revenue county directory lists the Lancaster County Treasurer at 402-441-7425. Use the directory to start a property-tax routing question and confirm any parcel balance directly with the County.

Lancaster County deed and property-transfer searches

Lancaster County Court

The Nebraska Judicial Branch directory lists Lancaster County Court at 575 S. 10th Street, Lincoln, NE 68508, phone 402-441-7291. For a court or probate-process question, contact the court about the case; the directory does not decide estate authority or who may sign for a property.

How selling works

Get the written terms before you decide

Share the address and what you know about the house. We can talk through the property and your questions before you decide whether to move ahead.

Three simple steps

  1. 1

    Tell us about your house

    Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.

  2. 2

    Get your offer

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

  3. 3

    Close

    Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Call 888-274-5006 to talk about the house, or use the address form above.

Compare your selling choices

A direct as-is sale is one option alongside listing or making repairs first. Compare what you would keep after costs, not just a possible sale price, and use numbers that fit your own house and priorities.

For city-level market context, Zillow’s current typical home value is $293,764 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Lincoln, NE). It is not a value or offer for a particular address.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nebraska's documentary stamp tax.

Calculator figures are estimates for comparison, not a property-specific offer.

Find the page for your situation

An estate, deadline, tenant, code notice, fire damage, or lien can change which questions matter in a sale. These Lincoln pages focus on those situations.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Lincoln places and selling questions

Is Lincoln in Lancaster County?

For citywide local-office orientation, yes: the Lincoln city geometry lies within Lancaster County. A city address still has a separate municipal identity, so use the City for city permit questions and the county offices for county records. This geography does not determine a parcel’s title, tax status, ownership, or estate venue.

Are the named historic districts official Lincoln neighborhood or parcel maps?

No. The National Register entries and their street descriptions provide broad local-area orientation. They are not a City neighborhood or preservation-overlay map and do not establish the status of an individual property.

Are Waverly, Hickman, Bennet, and Malcolm part of Lincoln?

No. Census TIGERweb records them as separate incorporated places outside the Lincoln city polygon. They are nearby places, not Lincoln neighborhoods; use the actual property address to find the right local office.

Where do I start with a Lincoln permit, property-tax, deed, or estate question?

For a City building-safety or permit question, start with Lincoln Building Safety. Nebraska Department of Revenue directories list Lancaster County assessor and treasurer contacts; the County public-access portal offers deed and property-transfer search routes. For a court or probate-process question, use the Nebraska Judicial Branch directory for Lancaster County Court. These are office starting points, not parcel-specific legal or title conclusions.

Can I sell a Lincoln house as-is without repairs or a cleanout?

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the address and what you know about the house, or call 888-274-5006 to talk it through.

How do I ask about a cash offer for a Lincoln house?

Send the address through the form or call 888-274-5006. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
