Planning Applications

	Do you live within Mill Valley city limits? That's important to know before completing forms for the Department of Planning & Building. Some Mill Valley addresses (such as those in Strawberry, Tam Valley, Homestead, Almonte and Alto) are actually in unincorporated portions of Marin County -- out of our jurisdiction. Check your street address here to find out.

The Mill Valley Municipal Code provides for stringent regulation of the use and improvement of land, buildings and other structures to best protect our city's natural beauty and special character.

For your convenience, we've provided our most frequently used planning applications in Adobe Acrobat PDF. Instructions are included as part of each application. A fee schedule is also available.

If you have questions, please give us a call at (415) 388-4033.
