Marin County building permits — week of May 11, 2026
A single address in Sausalito is responsible for 92% of this week's entire declared value in Marin County. The Golden Gate Village public housing complex at 1 Cole Drive is undergoing a $39.5 million overhaul — common room upgrades, underground utilities, new roofing, siding, windows, and ADA improvements — filed as an owner-builder permit, meaning the Marin Housing Authority is likely self-managing the work. Strip that project out, and the rest of the week's 83 permits total just $3.5 million, a quiet week by any measure.
