Marivan County is bordered by Saqqez County to the north, Sanandaj County to the east and southeast, Paveh County to the south, and Iraq to the west and northwest.

At the time of the 2016 Population and Housing census the population of Marivan County was 195 263. Of these, 151 188 lived in urban centres while 44 075 lived in rural regions. 99 956 were male and 95 307 were female. The county is the third most populous in Kurdestan province.

With the removal of Kaltrazan and Sarvabad, Marivan County was divided into a Central District, Sarshiv, and Khav and Mirabad District.
