Arlington County Board

The Arlington County Board is the governing body of Arlington County, Virginia. It consists of five members who serve staggered four-year terms. Regular meetings are held once a month, including open comment sessions where community members can voice their concerns. The board is responsible for setting the county tax rate, annual budget, and major county policies. Its other duties include regulating land use through the zoning ordinance and overseeing the county government's operations. All members are elected at-large with no designated seats, meaning they represent the entire county rather than specific districts.
