Local government

Tamalpais Valley is an unincorporated community of approximately 2,800 households, plus small businesses located in southern Marin County between the cities of Mill Valley and Sausalito. Although we are unincorporated, Tam Valley has a local government -- the Tamalpais Community Services District (TCSD) with elected officials who represent us on Tam Valley issues.

Tamalpais Community Services District

TCSD is a governmental agency governed by a board of directors who are elected by residents of Tam Valley. The current TCSD board members are:

  • Steffen Bartschat

  • TCSD also has a General Manager ( Jon Elam ) and full-time staff, as well as a Parks and Recreation Director ( Carol Buchholz ).

    Tamalpais Design Review Board The Tam Design Review Board is an advisory body to the Marin County Planning Department for all zoning items requiring Design Review.
