One-Stop Arlington: Making it Easier for Customers
Landscape and Tree Preservation Plans Review Process
Many development projects in Arlington require county-approved landscape plans and tree preservation plans that adhere to county regulations and best practices in urban design and urban forestry. To start the review process for your plan, learn the requirements and the new one-stop application process.The one-stop process is an interim solution to provide immediate customer service improvements and cost savings for our customers while we work on the new online permitting system, which is scheduled for roll-out later this year.
Construction Sites & Mosquitoes
Fight the Bite!
Help us reduce the number of mosquitoes – and the nuisance and health risks associated with them – by eliminating standing water (e.g. puddles, water on tarps) from your construction site. If that isn’t possible, using mosquito control products like Mosquito Dunks is the next best option. Learn more on how you can help to fight the bite!
