Detailed information about each residential or commercial building permit processed by, and under the jurisdiction of, Marin County. Data is updated daily, and covers the time period beginning January 1, 2014 until the present.

Simpler permits, which are issued on demand, have issued dates but do not have received dates nor plan approval dates. More complex permits that involve permit inspections, and often involve building plans that must be approved, have a received date, an issued date and often a plan approval date. The received date is the date a permit application is received. The issued date is the date the permit has been fully approved and issued, and may be many weeks or months after the received date.

Reported crimes of the Marin County Sheriff's Department. Data is updated every four hours. Data begins as of January 1, 2013. Each reported crime includes its date/time, approximate location, crime type, and crime classification.

NOTE: For the safety and security of victims of crimes, street address locations, other than reported street intersections or highway locations, are not exact. They are adjusted to the nearest block level.

There are two columns of city/town information. The first is the reported city/town name in the crime records. The second, which is not in the crime records, is a translation of it into the more commonly known city/town name, or into Marin County when it appears to be in an unincorporated area. For example, Almonte and Tam Valley are reported city/town names, but they are both in the more commonly known city of Mill Valley. Lucas Valley translates to San Rafael, etc. We hope that the translated city/town column will facilitate analysis.

Emergency Medical Service ambulance dispatch incidents in Marin County, CA, for the period beginning March, 2013 through June, 2018. Data is updated every three to six months. Data includes time stamps of events for each dispatch, nature of injury, and location of injury. Data also includes geocoding of most incident locations, however, specific street address locations are "obfuscated" and are generally shown within a block and are not, therefore, exact locations. Geocoding results are also based on the quality of the address information provided, and should therefore not be considered 100% accurate.

Some of the data may be interpreted incorrectly without adequate knowledge of the clinical context. Please contact EMS@marincounty.org if you have any questions about the interpretation of fields in this dataset.
