Not a Consumer Reporting Agency. This website is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The information here, and on any third-party tool linked from this site, may not be used to make decisions about credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose covered by the FCRA.
How Current Is the Information
Custodians can change portals, fees, hours, and procedures. Indexes are corrected, court access can change, and ownership records age. Although we update the material, we cannot promise every detail is current. Confirm any important record or procedure with the City of Novato, Marin County, California agency, or court that controls it.
No Legal Advice
Nothing here constitutes legal advice. Descriptions of Novato and Marin County record sources cannot replace advice from a qualified attorney.
Use Records Lawfully
Public access supports government transparency. It does not authorize stalking, harassment, intimidation, or harm. Misusing personal information may violate California or federal law and also breaches our Terms of Use.
Third-Party Search Tools
Some pages on this site reference or include search boxes powered by third-party companies. We do not control what those tools return, how they price their services, or how they handle data you submit. Their accuracy is not guaranteed, and their results are not FCRA-compliant consumer reports.
Links Leaving This Site
External links include recorder indexes, Marin court portals, assessor and GIS tools, election resources, vital-record offices, license databases, and library collections. We are not responsible for an outside site's accuracy, content, or availability.
Records Remain With Custodians
No government record, court file, vital certificate, property roll, or voter file is hosted here. The linked offices and portals hold those materials. Requests to obtain, verify, or correct a record must go directly to its custodian.
