Is contractors license required for rehab?

[Kyle Godbout]

Hi there. I can't seem to find a good answer for this, so it's time to ask the BP community. I was wondering if a contractors license is necessary for me to rehab my own, vacant property in Omaha Nebraska? I would not be living there as it would be for a rental. In the law I found that it says even owners not living in the property must have a contractors license to perform the work themselves. However, I will not be doing the work myself, I will be having licensed insured and bonded subs doing the work for me. If you have any experience with this and Nebraska, please share. Thank you!
