Duluth Division, District of Minnesota (mnb)
Bankruptcy venue is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1408, not by county alone. It can rest on domicile, residence, a principal place of business, or principal assets in the United States, measured over the 180 days before filing — so a recent move can change which district is available. Confirm venue before filing.
28 U.S.C. § 103 — District of Minnesota, Fifth Division comprises the counties of 'Aitkin, Benton, Carlton, Cass, Cook, Crow Wing, Itasca, Kanabec, Koochiching, Lake, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Pine, and Saint Louis' and is held at Duluth; the U.S. Bankruptcy Court assigns the Fifth Division to its Duluth office (mnb.uscourts.gov 'Duluth' division page). St. Louis (the Duluth courthouse / office-seat county) and Crow Wing are not shaded on the divisional map and are assigned here via the statute.
