On December 10th, the County Board will take an important vote on whether to legalize Airbnb type services in Arlington. Currently short-term rentals—less than 30 days—are prohibited in private residences by Arlington’s zoning ordinance. This issue has moved through the zoning revision process very quickly, without the usual level of public outreach and input, due to anticipated action by the Virginia General Assembly that could severely limit Arlington’s ability to regulate short-term rentals or collect taxes that other Arlington businesses are required to pay.
Please click on the link below and take 15 minutes to complete the Civic Federation’s survey. Responses are due by 5 PM on Sunday, November 27th
so we can provide our input to County staff and the County Board before decisions are made.

(PC users will have links pop up in a separate window, while MAC users have found that you will need to use the back arrow after reviewing the links.)
County staff has prepared a different survey. If you choose to complete that, we hope you also will compete our CivFed survey so that we can appropriately advocate at the upcoming meetings on this issue.
