Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV (2026) § 13-373
Rights of parties; evidence
Operative Text
At a hearing under this article, each party may appear in person, be represented by counsel, present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and obtain the issuance of subpoenas. Any aggrieved person may intervene as a party in the proceeding. The Nebraska Rules of Evidence apply to the presentation of evidence in such hearing as they would in a civil action in a state district court.
Under Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-373, hearings conducted under Article IV give each party a set of procedural rights, including the ability to appear in person, be represented by an attorney, present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and compel the attendance of witnesses through subpoenas. Any person who has been aggrieved by the matter at issue may also join the proceeding as a party. The Nebraska Rules of Evidence govern how evidence is introduced, applying the same standards used in civil cases before a state district court.

Property owners and managers who are parties to a hearing governed by Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-373 generally prepare by organizing documentary evidence and identifying witnesses in advance, since the Nebraska Rules of Evidence—the same standards used in civil district court proceedings—apply to what can be introduced. Operators who wish to be represented by an attorney may arrange that representation before the hearing date. Awareness that opposing parties and any intervening aggrieved persons also hold the right to cross-examine witnesses and request subpoenas helps landlords anticipate a structured, formal process.
