Your home

Can You Host an Airbnb in Nebraska? It Depends on the Home

Whether you can host in Nebraska turns on whose home it is and whether you live there.

Your own home, rented whole while you're away

Allowed with conditions

Allowed. Register for the state lodging tax, and get the city license in Lincoln, Kearney or Norfolk; no night cap applies in state law.^1,3,6,18,23

A room in your home with you present

Allowed with conditions

Allowed on the same terms. Lincoln's license covers all or a portion of a dwelling, and the tax permit and city hotel taxes apply as for a whole home.^3,18

A second home or investment property you don't live in

Allowed with conditions

Allowed. State law has no owner-occupancy rule and cities cannot ban rentals, though Lincoln wants proof of possession by deed or lease.^1,3

A rented apartment (tenant hosting)

Allowed with conditions

Possible only with the owner's written permission in Lincoln and Norfolk; the lease and any landlord rules also apply.^3,7

A condo or HOA building

Allowed with conditions

The city cannot ban the rental, but the association's declaration or bylaws can, because the state law leaves private rules in force.¹

Permit

Do You Need a License for Airbnb in Nebraska?

Yes. Nebraska hosts need the Nebraska Lodging Tax Permit from the Nebraska Department of Revenue for the tax permit; the city for local licenses. It costs $250.^1,3,6,18,23

Who needs it: Every host needs the state Lodging Tax Permit. Hosts also need a city license in Lincoln and Norfolk and a city permit in Kearney; Omaha licenses bed and breakfasts only.^1,3,6,18,23
Issued by: Nebraska Department of Revenue for the tax permit; the city for local licenses
Valid for: City licenses run one year: Lincoln and Norfolk from the date of issue, Kearney from approval until December of the permit year.
Platform checks: The state rental statute sets no platform license check; Airbnb collects the state and county taxes and Omaha's hotel tax for the host.

Norfolk: a city inspection before a license is issued; Kearney: no inspection required for approval
Condo and homeowners association rules apply on top of city rules

How to apply

Check the property's zoning and any condo or homeowners association rules.
Register for a Nebraska Lodging Tax Permit by filing a Nebraska Tax Application (Form 20) with the Department of Revenue, listing each rental's address so the right county rate is applied.
In Lincoln, Kearney or Norfolk, apply for the city license or permit before listing the home.
File a Form 64 lodging tax return by the 25th of the month after each tax period, even when no tax is due, and register for any city hotel occupation tax.

Applications go through the official application page .

Permit rules

Every host needs a Nebraska Lodging Tax Permit: Anyone selling short-term rentals of homes in Nebraska must hold a Lodging Tax Permit from the Department of Revenue, obtained with Form 20, and file a Form 64 lodging tax return for each rental location.¹⁸
Airbnb collects and remits state and county taxes: A host is relieved of collecting and remitting sales and lodging tax on bookings a marketplace platform facilitates, because the platform must hold its own permit and report those taxes; this has applied since April 1, 2019.^19,27 In force since April 1, 2019
Bookings made outside the platform stay with the host: For a stay booked directly or through a site that does not collect tax, the host must collect and remit the sales and lodging taxes, and Form 64 has a separate line for the sales a platform has already reported.^18,19
Airbnb tells hosts to check local permits and zoning: Airbnb's responsible-hosting page for the United States tells hosts to look up the permitting, zoning, safety and health rules that apply where the property is, which in Nebraska means the city, village or county.²⁶
Lincoln: city license for every rental unit: Lincoln makes it unlawful to offer or advertise a short-term rental within city limits without a license; the license costs $250 a year and each rental unit needs its own.^3,22 Applies to: Lincoln · In force since September 20, 2021
Kearney: annual permit since January 2026: Kearney requires every short-term rental to hold a city permit; it is issued annually, expires in December, costs $100 for the first year and $25 to renew, and no inspection is needed for approval.²³ Applies to: Kearney · In force since January 2026

Omaha: license for bed and breakfasts only: Omaha's short-term rental article licenses bed and breakfasts, single-family homes run as a hotel with owner-provided meals, at $1,000 for the initial application and $150 plus $15 per sleeping room each year to renew.⁹ Applies to: Omaha · In force since April 21, 2015

Who can host

What Nebraska Cities and Counties Can and Can't Regulate

Cities and villages cannot ban short-term rentals: Nebraska law bars a city or village from adopting or enforcing any ordinance that expressly or effectively prohibits using a property as a short-term rental, so every host in a municipality has a legal path to rent for up to 30 consecutive days.^1,2
The only uses a city may prohibit: A city may limit or prohibit a short-term rental only to stop it being used to house sex offenders, run a sober living home, sell illegal drugs, sell alcohol under a liquor license or run a sexually oriented business.¹
Zoning treats a rental like similar property: Zoning, noise and property-maintenance rules must apply to a short-term rental in the same way as to other similar property, so a city cannot write separate land-use limits aimed at rentals.¹
Condo and HOA rules still apply: The state law does not affect rules set by a private body such as a homeowners association or condominium association, so a declaration or bylaw can still bar short stays in a building.¹
The state limit covers cities and villages, not counties: The statute defines a municipality as a city or village; bills to extend the same limit to counties (LB631 in 2021 and LB208 in 2023) were indefinitely postponed, so unincorporated county land is outside the statute.^1,12,13 Applies to: Unincorporated areas
Lincoln: deed or lease, plus owner permission for tenants: A Lincoln applicant must show possession by deed or lease; a tenant must also provide the owner's written permission for short-term rentals.³ Applies to: Lincoln
Norfolk: 10% cap in multi-family buildings: In a Norfolk multi-family building, tiny house park or subdivision no more than 10% of dwelling units may be short-term rentals, though at least one unit is always allowed.⁵ Applies to: Norfolk · In force since June 7, 2021

Local rules

Local Rules in Nebraska's 4 Largest Airbnb Markets

A state license doesn't replace local rules. Cities and counties still set registration, occupancy, parking and safety requirements. These are Nebraska's largest markets by active Airbnb listings, with the share of each market's listings that display a registration or license number.

FAQ

Nebraska Short-Term Rental Laws: Frequently Asked Questions

Is Airbnb legal in Nebraska?

Yes. State law bars any city or village from banning short-term rentals of 30 consecutive days or fewer, and lets cities regulate them only for health and safety. Hosts must still register for the state lodging tax, and some cities license rentals.^1,18

Do I need a permit for Airbnb in Nebraska?

Every host needs a Nebraska Lodging Tax Permit from the Department of Revenue. A city license or permit is also required in Lincoln, Kearney and Norfolk, while Omaha licenses only bed and breakfasts.^3,6,9,18,23

How much is a short-term rental license in Nebraska?

There is no state license fee. Lincoln charges $250 a year per rental unit, and Kearney charges $100 for the first year and $25 to renew. Norfolk charges an annual fee set in its city fee schedule.^3,7,23

Can a Nebraska city ban Airbnb?

No. A city or village may not adopt or enforce a rule that expressly or effectively prohibits a short-term rental, and it may limit one only for health and safety or for a few uses such as housing sex offenders or selling illegal drugs.¹

Can I rent a home I don't live in on Airbnb in Nebraska?

Yes. State law sets no owner-occupancy or primary-residence rule. Lincoln asks for proof of possession by deed or lease, and a tenant needs the owner's written permission.^1,3

Does Airbnb collect hotel tax in Nebraska?

Airbnb collects the 5.5% state sales tax, the 1% to 2% city sales tax, the 1% state lodging tax and the county lodging tax of up to 4%, plus Omaha's 5.5% hotel tax. Other city hotel taxes, such as Lincoln's 4%, are filed by the host.^4,27

What is the total tax on an Airbnb stay in Nebraska?

About 17.5% in Omaha: 5.5% state sales tax, 1.5% city sales tax, 1% state lodging tax, 4% Douglas County lodging tax and the 5.5% city hotel tax. In Lincoln the stack is 5.5%, 1.75%, 1%, 4% and a 4% city occupation tax.^{4,10,16,17,27}

In Lincoln the fine is up to $500, with minimums of $200, $300 and $400 for repeat offenses, plus up to six months in jail; each day is a separate offense. Norfolk's fine is also up to $500.^3,8

Can a county restrict short-term rentals in Nebraska?

The state limit applies to cities and villages only. Bills to extend it to counties were indefinitely postponed in 2022 and 2024, so unincorporated land is not covered by the statute.^1,12,13

How many guests can an Airbnb in Nebraska sleep?

The state sets no guest cap. Lincoln and Norfolk allow two guests per sleeping area up to 12, and Kearney allows two per sleeping area.^3,6,23

Do condo or HOA rules apply to Airbnb in Nebraska?

Method

How These Rules Were Checked

Each rule on this page was checked in October 2026 against the official source cited beside it: the ordinance or statute, the permit office's own pages and the tax authority. Airbnb's help pages are cited on their own only for what Airbnb itself does, such as the taxes it collects and the permit checks it runs, and otherwise only beside an official source; news reports only for when a change was announced. Rules that could not be confirmed on an official page are left out. The Nebraska Legislature statute page, the Lincoln, Omaha, Norfolk and Grand Island code pages and the Lincoln rental page were read in a browser; the Lincoln occupation tax FAQ PDF was read from a downloaded copy.

Rules change with council votes, court rulings and new state laws, so the page is rechecked every three months and whenever a scheduled change takes effect. It summarizes the rules for information and is not legal advice; the state agency and your city or county has the final word on any application.
