No state general contractor license. Local licensing exists: e.g. Omaha Building Contractor licenses with 9 CE hours, insurance of $1,000,000 (Class A and B), $500,000 (Class C) or $300,000 (Class D and E), and a $10,000 bond; Lincoln has its own contractor licensing. Fee: the annual registration fee increased to $40.00 effective August 1, 2026 (statutory cap in 48-2107(1) is $40). Exempt from the fee: self-employed contractors paying no more than $3,000 a year to employ others (48-2107(2)). A separate registration number is needed for each business name.
