Where to report a lost item in Duluth
The official channels, and what ReportLost does for you
Duluth Police Department
The city's main clearinghouse for lost and found items. Report in person at 2030 North Arlington Avenue, call 218-730-5400 (hours 8:30 AM–4:00 PM, Monday–Friday), or file online. We identify your precinct and submit the details on your behalf.
Duluth Transit Authority (DTA)
Lost something on a bus or at a transit stop? The Duluth Transit Center at 228 West Michigan Street now handles all lost and found items. Call 218-722-7283, option 4, to inquire or report (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM). We notify DTA so they flag your item.
Duluth International Airport (DLH)
Lost at the airport or on the grounds? Contact DLH Security at 218-625-7763. They hold items and coordinate with airlines. If your loss happened mid-flight, your airline's lost and found can assist with a claim. We ensure your report reaches both channels.

If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, time is critical. Contact Duluth Animal Control at 218-730-4346 immediately (they hold animals for five days). Also post to PawBoost and the active Missing Pets of the Northland Facebook group. We help you file a priority lost pet report to reach all these networks at once. File a priority lost pet report.
Duluth City Hall
General inquiries about city services or lost items handled by municipal departments can start here. City Hall is located at 411 West 1st Street, or call 218-730-5000 (Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–4:00 PM). We route your report to the appropriate city department.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Duluth can feel isolating. Between the Police Department, the Transit Authority, the airport, social media groups, and neighborhood channels, the right people might have your item, but they're scattered across different systems. Nobody's coordinating the search on your behalf.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File once, and we notify all the official lost and found offices in Duluth, plus we maintain a live watch across the web for any post or listing that might be yours. You describe what you lost; we handle the legwork and the waiting.
