Challenging to Investors
Short‑term rentals are legal but governed by Marin County, with a near‑saturation countywide cap of 1,200 and new licenses paused until after July 1, 2025; only about 271 licenses remain. Operators face moderate fees ($300/$600), a two‑year renewal cycle, self‑certified inspections, water/waste/septic documentation, and strict property‑type restrictions (no multi‑family or recent ADUs). The moderate compliance burden, limited availability, and enforcement‑oriented stance create notable investor risk and friction.
