Check your property jurisdiction (if it’s in San Rafael)

Before you apply for a permit, make sure your project location is within the City of San Rafael's jurisdiction.

Need to know

  • If your property is not in our jurisdiction, we cannot issue a permit
  • Some list San Rafael as city, but are in Unincorporated County jurisdiction
  • Search by address or assessor parcel number (APN)

What to do

  1. Search in the top left of the zoning map.
  2. If the jurisdiction field says:
    • San Rafael, the property is in the City of San Rafael
    • Unincorporated or San Anselmo, the property is not
    • 2 jurisdictions, then it's split
