Beekeeping allowed in Duluth with Georgia Department of Agriculture registration. No explicit local ban. Setbacks and neighbor consideration apply under nuisance standards.
Georgia does not preempt local beekeeping rules (unlike Florida). Duluth's Unified Development Code does not specifically prohibit hobbyist beekeeping in residential zones, though practices must not create a nuisance. GA Department of Agriculture requires hive registration under O.C.G.A. §2-14-40+. Standard best-practice setbacks (10+ feet from property line, flight barriers 6+ ft) reduce complaint risk.
Nuisance enforcement if hives cause swarming, stings, or complaints. Abatement orders and fines possible under general nuisance code.
