Start here
Lincoln is in Lancaster County, so the county offices below are citywide starting points. A countywide reference does not decide a specific property’s ownership, title, or estate venue; match the address, record, and case to the right office.
Use the Assessor for value, the Treasurer for unpaid property taxes, the county portal for deeds and property transfers, and the court named on a judgment or notice. If you are weighing a sale, the local situation pages, guide, report, and calculator below offer other ways to compare options. Call 888-274-5006 or use the property form on this page.
Local records and offices
Start with the office or record route that matches your task. Valuation, tax collection, deeds, and court cases are separate questions; have the property address or case information ready.
Lancaster County · property assessment and valuation
Use the Assessor for assessed value, property valuation, and assessment-record questions. The Assessor is separate from the office that collects unpaid property taxes and from deed records.
402-441-7463 · 555 S. 10th Street, Lincoln, NE 68508.
Lancaster County · real-estate tax collection and unpaid-tax questions
Contact the Treasurer about unpaid or delinquent real-estate tax balances and payment status for a parcel. For assessed value or valuation records, contact the Assessor instead.
402-441-7425.
Lancaster County · deed, property-transfer, and GIS searches
Use the county portal to search deed and property-transfer records or GIS information. These land-record searches are different from property valuation, tax collection, and court-case records.
The portal provides the county’s public-access search routes.
Lancaster County · court-specific case and record questions
Use the court named on a judgment or notice. If it names Lancaster County Court, use this directory for that court’s contact; a deed-search portal is not a court-case search, and another court’s judgment belongs with the court identified on its paperwork.
402-441-7291 · 575 S. 10th Street, Lincoln, NE 68508.
A Nebraska deed-transfer tax
Yes—if the deed transfer is taxable, Nebraska charges documentary stamp tax when the deed is recorded. The grantor—the person signing the deed, usually the seller—owes it. For transfers before January 1, 2032, the rate is $3.32 for each $1,000 of value or part of $1,000. The value is generally the full price paid, including a loan the buyer takes over. Some transfers are exempt.
Ask the closing professional to confirm the transaction value and whether an exemption applies, and to show the tax in the closing paperwork. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nebraska's documentary stamp tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
