The City of Arlington's Code Compliance Services Division is proud to announce our July 2015 Property of the Month award winners.

The properties chosen for this month exemplify residents and owners who have gone above and beyond to make Arlington a better place to live, work and play.

This month, there is a mix of residential homes, multi-family homes and local businesses that have put forth the effort to maintain their properties well beyond minimum standards.

The goal of our program is to help foster healthy and attractive neighborhoods in an effort to showcase the beauty of Arlington.

These efforts not only improve the appearance of our community, but also creates a synergy for economic development.

Arlington is the American Dream City because of our competitive can-do spirit which is reflected in the effort committed to the manicuring and maintenance of your properties.

Each month members of the Property of the Month Selection Committee select one single-family residential and one multi-family/commercial property from each Council District to be recognized.

Winners are chosen based on the following criteria: The property has no visible code violations, nor a history of chronic code violations and the property is one of the most aesthetically pleasing in the area.
