Property Tax Division
Property taxes contribute a significant portion of revenue to Marin County's local governments and schools annually. These taxes are calculated by the Property Tax Administration unit and collected by the Tax Collector's Office.
In accordance with state law, the County is responsible for the assessment, collection, and apportionment of property taxes for all taxing jurisdictions within the County, including school districts, cities and towns, and special districts. Property taxes are levied on both secured (real property) and unsecured (business and personal property other than land and buildings) property. Supplemental property taxes are assessed upon transfer of property ownership or completion of new construction.
