How Nebraska licenses plumbers
There is no statewide plumber license; cities or counties license plumbers.
Local rules: Nebraska has no statewide plumber license; plumbers are licensed by cities and villages that establish a plumbing board under Neb. Rev. Stat. 18-1901 to 18-1920 (for example Omaha and Lincoln).
Check with your city's building or plumbing department whether it licenses plumbers, and confirm the plumber holds that city's license and pulls the required permit.
We could not confirm every detail from Nebraska’s own sources, so treat this as a starting point and check with the agency.

Before you hire
Ask for the license number and check it on the official lookup where one exists. Ask for proof of insurance and a written, itemized estimate, and ask who pulls the permit if the job needs one – water heaters, repiping and sewer lines often do.
