Marin County DUI FAQs
According to the Marin County Public Defender, if you are arrested and taken to jail, you generally must be presented to a judge for an initial arraignment within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. In some situations, the Sheriff's Office may release you with an order to appear in court. If you receive a citation instead of being booked into jail, you must appear in court on the date listed on the citation.
The Marin County Public Defender states that a first DUI is a misdemeanor and that many people convicted of a first offense receive probation, jail time, a fine, and a requirement to complete DUI school. Other probation conditions may also apply, and driver's license consequences can result. The exact sentence depends on the circumstances of the case.
The Marin County Public Defender explains that repeat DUI convictions can result in increased penalties. A second DUI within 10 years can involve additional jail, fines, probation, and an 18-month DUI program. A third DUI within 10 years can result in supervised probation and substantially more jail time.
Yes. The Marin County Public Defender specifically states that a fourth DUI is a felony and that a person convicted of a fourth offense could face up to three years in jail or state prison.
Marin County restored local DUI education and recovery services in 2025. The county announced that a local provider began offering the court-required program in Marin County after a temporary period in which people had to use virtual programs or providers in neighboring counties.
