The county is offering incentives to those who create rental units on their property and rent them to low-income tenants.
MARIN COUNTY, CA – The County of Marin will waive permit fees up to $10,000 for homeowners in unincorporated areas of the county who create rental units on their property and rent them to low-income tenants.
Beginning June 14, homeowners who rely on septic systems are eligible for grants to build second units considered accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, also known as granny units.
The designation includes units that include kitchens and bathrooms.
