Arlington Regulations
Arlington explicitly permits STRs in a defined Entertainment District zone and several eligible zoning districts, but requires a multi‑step permit process (annual renewal, safety inspection, $1 M insurance, HOT registration) and strict operational rules (occupancy caps, noise, parking, event bans). The caps and fees are moderate and the compliance pathway is clear, yet the limited geographic area adds moderate constraints for investors.
