FAQ

What hours is City Hall open?

Village Hall is open from 9am to 1pm Monday through Thursday.

May I burn trash and leaves inside the city limits?

No, it is against Nebraska state law to burn anything in the open either IN city limits or OUT of city limits.  There is a Duncan Village Ordinance that forbids the burning of any trashe, brush or refuse within city limits as well.  Please contact the Village or Fire Chief if you have any questions.

Do I need a permit to replace or add a fence?

Yes.  You need to fill out a zoning permit for just about anything you may build or add to your property.  If a storm blows your fence down, you still need a zoning permit to replace the old fence.  This is to be sure that the original was placed with the correct and up to date setbacks.  The same goes for a shed or other structure that may have been damaged and is being replaced.

Can I come to a meeting?

Yes.  The Village meetings are entirely open to the public.  We encourage residents to attend any of the monthly or special meetings that the Village has.  We post agendas for every meeting.  If you would like to be on the agenda, you must notify the office at least a week ahead of the meeting.  If you want to come and just listen, you are welcome to do that.  If you have a problem you want to make the Board aware of, that is fine.  But, please know that, unless the issue is on the agenda, the Board cannot discuss or decide anything about that issue.  

I am interested in applying for a job with the Village of Duncan, what do I do?

What is the process for getting a zoning permit?

Take a moment to read all required information provided. Then print and fill out the zoning permit application form and return to the Village office with the required fee payment.  Once the Zoning Administrator receives both the application and fee payment, he will review the application and the site of construction.  He may call you to clarify any questions.  He will then fill out the portion at the end of the application as to whether or not the application is approved.  He will provide you with a copy of the approval/disapproval.  Please DO NOT begin construction until you receive an approved application form from the Zoning Administrator.  If construction begins prior to approval, it is possible that you would be required to remove anything built.   Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to give us a call or send us an email.  We will be happy to help you.
