About each permit
Zoning Confirmation Letter
As published in the City's 2022 zoning, comprehensive-plan and subdivision fee schedule (Resolution A-93521, effective October 1, 2022), a Zoning Confirmation Letter costs $82.00. The same schedule prices a Board of Zoning Appeals application at $440.00, a Change of Zone at $440.00 (1 acre or less) or $1,056.00 (greater than 1 acre), and a Use Permit at $1,056.00 base plus $177.00 per acre — relevant if a business's use requires more than a routine zoning check. Daycare facilities pay a reduced rate for this same letter, listed as a separate Lincoln requirement.
Zoning Confirmation Letter (Daycares Only)
The City's 2022 zoning, comprehensive-plan and subdivision fee schedule (Resolution A-93521, effective October 1, 2022) prices a general Zoning Confirmation Letter at $82.00 and a 'Zoning Confirmation Letter (Daycares only)' at half that, $41.00; the schedule lists no comparable reduced rate for any other business type. This letter documents zoning approval for a home-based or standalone child care provider inside city limits, layered on top of Nebraska DHHS's own Child Care License (covered at the Nebraska state level), and separate from the Bureau of Fire Prevention's Child Care Facilities inspection fee, listed as a separate Lincoln requirement.
