An online resource is available for Arlington business owners to help with commercial property maintenance. The Commercial Rapid Reference Guide accompanies an initiative by Code Compliance to improve the attractiveness of major commercial corridors and thoroughfares in Arlington.

The site, originally launched in 2021, aims to provide business owners/managers a comprehensive guide with links to City Ordinances about keeping Arlington litter-free, landscaping, parking lot and sign standards, screening/fencing, and more.

Addition of the commercial guide complements the rapid reference guides for single-family residential and multi-family residential properties. Code Compliance provides educational information with a couple of clicks.

Development of these web pages and the commercial corridor initiative helps support these City Council Priorities: Leverage Technology, Champion Great Neighborhoods, and Invest in Our Economy.
