In recognition of its exceptional design the Marin County Civic Center main building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 17, 1991 and was designated a National Historic Landmark the same day.
The designation came as a National Historic Landmark only thirty years after completion of the first phase, compared with the more usual 50-year term before a site is considered for NHL designation.
It is also a California Historical Landmark, Number 999.
It and other Wright buildings were considered for designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but after a 2016 nomination to the World Heritage List was rejected by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, a revised 2018 proposal removed the Marin County Civic Center from the list.
