Is the Marin County building department backed up?

Permit-filing volume is the best public proxy for permitting load: the more permits a building department takes in, the heavier its review queue. Marin County, CA logged 97 permits in the last 7 days versus 96 the week before — a 1.0% increase, so intake is accelerating and review backlogs are likely growing. This tracker refreshes weekly from official municipal feeds, so it reflects the current pace rather than a stale snapshot.

Methodology. Data sourced from Marin County's official municipal permit-issuance feed and refreshed daily. Permits are counted by issue date. Declared construction value reflects what the applicant declared on the permit application and is filtered to remove obvious data-entry errors (values under $1,000 or above $50M are excluded from totals). "This week" means the trailing 7 days through 2026-08-03.
