Lincoln, NE — Use Of Public Space Bond
Lincoln's Street Use process requires current bond and insurance information before a company applies to use public space for construction. This page's purchase route is RLI. Confirm the City's requested form and permit chapter before issuance, particularly if the request concerns a continuing structure above or below public property rather than temporary street use.

- Who needs it
- The company or other applicant named in Lincoln's public-space request, with construction use distinguished from continuing property occupancy.
- Who it protects
- The City provisions address compliance with permit conditions and protection of the City from losses arising from the permitted use. The bond does not replace public liability insurance or confer a right to occupy the street.

Questions about this bond
Which provider does this purchase link use?
This page retains its RLI application. A separate Lincoln occupier offering uses a different purchase route; the two have not been confirmed as interchangeable instruments.
Is the RLI option already set to $5,000 for one year?
The catalog option supplies neither a fixed sum nor a term. The City lists those requirements for its Street Use process, but the issuer must match the actual City request and accepted form.
What if the City asks for a continuing bond?
Get the permit chapter and form reviewed before issuance. Lincoln's above-or-below-public-property provision has continuing security and possible Council-set amounts, distinct from annual Street Use instructions.
