Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 17 (2026) § 17-39
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE CONTROL
Operative Text
Every owner, operator, attendant or other person operating a mobile home park shall notify the local health officer immediately of any suspected communicable or contagious disease within the mobile home park. In the case of diseases diagnosed by a physician as quarantinable, the departure of a mobile home or its occupants or the removal therefrom of clothing or other articles which have been exposed to infection without approval of the health officer is prohibited. (1964 Code, § 13A-28)
Section 17-39 of Bellevue, Nebraska's Code of Ordinances (ch. 17, art. II) establishes two related requirements for mobile home parks in the context of communicable disease. First, anyone responsible for operating a mobile home park must report any suspected communicable or contagious disease to the local health officer without delay. Second, when a physician has diagnosed a quarantinable disease, neither the mobile home itself, its occupants, nor any potentially exposed clothing or belongings may leave the park unless the local health officer has given explicit approval.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 17-39, compliant mobile home park operators maintain a clear, up-to-date contact for the local health officer so that any suspected communicable or contagious disease can be reported immediately—without waiting for a formal diagnosis. When a physician identifies a quarantinable disease within the park, operators generally ensure that no mobile home, resident, or potentially exposed item departs the premises until the health officer has reviewed and approved the movement. Keeping written records of any such notifications and approvals is a practice consistent with demonstrating compliance with this provision.

Section 17-39 places the primary reporting and control obligations on park operators, not on residents directly, though residents diagnosed with a quarantinable disease are subject to the departure restrictions it establishes. If you believe a park operator has failed to report a suspected communicable disease as required by this provision, you may contact the local health officer or city health department directly to raise the concern. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nebraska housing and public-health law can help explain how this provision interacts with your broader rights as a mobile home park resident.
