# Duluth UDC § 836.06

Maintenance Requirements

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.

or relocated portion of a floodplain on his property so that the flood-carrying or flood storage capacity is
not diminished.

the flood-carrying or flood storage capacity of the floodplain if the owner has not performed maintenance
as required by the approved floodplain management plan on file with the Planning and Development
Department.
