HostReadyMarin County has regulated Short Term Rentals in unincorporated areas since 2018, with requirements for 'good neighbor' actions, licensing, and collection of transient occupancy tax (TOT). In 2022, the Board of Supervisors placed a temporary moratorium on new STR licenses in West Marin. A proposed ordinance under consideration would cap STRs at currently issued license levels, except for Seadrift and Dillon Beach where the cap would be raised.
Licensing and Permits
Marin County requires hosts to obtain an STR license or permit before listing their property on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO. The city caps STR permits at 923.
