How are Marin County Codes enforced?
The Community Development Agency enforces code violations located on properties within the unincorporated area of Marin County. Investigations of code violations are generated by written complaints. Once a complaint is submitted to the Agency, it is assigned to an enforcement officer to investigate. If the complaint is found to be valid, a violation letter is sent to the property owner notifying them of the violation existing on the site and requesting abatement of the violation. If you wish to submit a complaint regarding a violation occurring on a property, it is necessary that you submit the complaint in writing. Please include the address of the violation and any a detailed description of the work activity that is in violation of the code. All complaints must be signed, and will be kept confidential. Anonymous complaints will not be investigated. Please submit your written complaint to the Marin County Community Development Agency, Planning Division, Attn: Enforcement, 3501 Civic C
