The Arlington City Council is exploring options for working with homeowners who wish to rent their property, or a portion of it, for short-term use. A short-term rental refers to any residential structure used for lodging accommodations to occupants for a period of less than 30 consecutive days. It does not include a "bed and breakfast" establishment as defined in the City Code.
On Oct. 16, 2018, the Council approved an ordinance on first reading only, which affirms the current state of the law in the City of Arlington: Short-term rental use of residential property is not allowed in the city. A second and final reading of the ordinance is required, and Council is expected to consider the ordinance again and complete the SUP/permitting process in January/February of 2019. This timeline gives citizens the opportunity to provide input, for Council to review legislative options, and for Council to pass an ordinance authorizing short-term rentals under certain conditions.
