Duluth R-100 setbacks are typically 40 ft front, 10-15 ft sides, and 40 ft rear. Setbacks vary by zoning district; corner lots and accessory structures have different rules.
Duluth's UDC establishes minimum yard setbacks for each residential and commercial zoning district. R-100 typical: front 40 ft, side 10-15 ft, rear 40 ft. R-75: front 35 ft, side 8-10 ft, rear 35 ft. RM and mixed-use districts vary. Accessory structures typically have reduced setbacks (5-10 ft). Corner lots have front setbacks on both street-facing sides. Variances require Board of Zoning Appeals approval with demonstrated hardship.
Encroachment into setbacks: stop-work order, removal, or variance process; unpermitted construction subject to double fees.
