Nebraska: 2 business days before you dig.
Nebraska811 · Neb. Rev. Stat. §§76-2301 to 76-2334
Read off the statute on . If it has moved since, tell us and we will re-read it.
A waiting period is not always permission. Some states also require that every operator has answered before you break ground, and some require you to mark your own dig path first. Where we have read that requirement, it is in the notes on this page. Where this page is silent, we have not checked it yet — silence here is not the same as absence. We are working through the rest and dating each one as it lands.
Notice before you break ground
2 business days
Two to ten business days, day of request excluded. Clock starts the day after.
Tolerance zone
18" each side
18 inches each side of the mark, plus half the facility's width.
Worth knowing in Nebraska
The seventeen-day figure crews quote is legally a prohibition on excavating past it, not a ticket expiry — different mechanism, same practical deadline.
