Look up a Marin County STR licence by name

Type a name — yours, your company's, or just part of one — and see every registered short-term rental the city has on record for it: the address, the licence number, whether it is currently active, and a link to check each line against the county's open-data record.

Counts read directly from the city's open-data portal on 2026-08-04. They change as the city updates its register — the lookup always reads it live, at the moment you check.

Why a licence stops being current without telling you

Registrations are maintained by the city and can change status over time; the register is the authoritative view.

A county register, keyed by business name

Marin is the one register here kept by a county rather than a city, and it lists currently registered short-term rentals only — under the business name each was registered with. That cuts both ways: a lapsed registration silently disappears rather than being marked, and an owner searching a personal name may find nothing while their LLC's name returns every property. If you registered under an entity, search the entity.

What you get back

• Every matching record — not just the first one. Operators often hold licences across several entities.
• The address on each record, as the city has it written.
• Current status, marked plainly — active, or no active licence on file.
• A verification link per line to the county's open-data record, so nothing here asks for your trust.

Common questions

Try the business name first. Marin keys its register to the registered business, so personal names often return nothing while the LLC returns everything.

It covers registrations made with the county's program. Municipalities inside Marin with their own rules keep their own records — the county register is authoritative only for what was registered with the county.

Yes. The city publishes the register as open data — holder name, status and address are all part of the public record. Our lookup reads that same source and links each line back to it so you can confirm every row with the city rather than trusting us.

Type any part of it. The lookup matches on fragments, so a surname or one distinctive word from the company name is enough. Licences are often held under an LLC or a co-owner rather than the name you use day to day, so it's worth trying a few.

Neither. There is no signup, no card and nothing to install. You type a name and read the result.

No. BondPermit is an information service, not a law firm and not the city. We show you the public record and link to the city's own page for each entry; decisions about your properties should be confirmed with the issuing authority.

More from the same team

Operators outside Marin County can use the same lookup for New Orleans, Chicago, Orlando and Cambridge — search a name free, no signup.

We also build Glint, a read-only scanner for Shopify and Stripe stores that surfaces active subscriptions that stopped producing invoices. Different problem, same principle as this page: show the record, cite it, let you verify it. First scan free.
