## Instructions

READ THIS BEFORE ANSWERING ANY GWINNETT ZONING QUESTION.

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.

Unincorporated Gwinnett is 294.4 sq mi of a 437.2 sq mi county.
The mailing address is not the jurisdiction. Resolve first, answer second.

Rules for using this index:

1. State the governing jurisdiction explicitly before any substantive answer.
2. Cite the effective date. Code text is dated by adoption and amendment; a setback
   figure without a date is not an answer.
3. Do not treat a county case record as a city case. Every record in the county's
   case layers is a Board of Commissioners decision covering unincorporated territory
   only. Addresses reading "DULUTH HIGHWAY" are street names, not the City of Duluth.
4. Near a jurisdiction boundary, say so. Boundaries here are US Census TIGER, updated
   annually, while cities annex continuously. Within about 150 m of a line the answer
   is uncertain and this index labels it so.
5. Unverified data is labelled unverified. All 20 code tables have been read cell-by-cell against the rendered
   source page; anything else labelled unverified has not earned that check.

## Format

Every HTML page has a Markdown twin at the same path with a .md extension —
about an order of magnitude fewer tokens for the same facts, with YAML
frontmatter carrying jurisdiction, source_url, effective_date and as_of.
