# Duluth UDC § 1130.02

Cost of Improvements

**Governing jurisdiction: Duluth.** A "Duluth, GA" mailing address is usually NOT in the City of Duluth. Unincorporated Gwinnett is 67.3% of the county's land area and is governed by a different code, a different board and a different permit portal. Resolve the governing jurisdiction before answering any zoning question.

## Text

The cost of the improvements to be completed shall be established based on a properly executed and binding
contract between the developer and the contractor selected to perform the work and shall be supported by
detailed cost estimates prepared by the contractor or a qualified design professional. Said contract and cost
estimates shall be determined by the City Engineer to be sufficient to cover the full cost of design, surveying,
construction, inspection, and preparation of as-built surveys, construction management, and all other costs of the
improvements.
