What lights cost on the usual Arlington house

ACS: 45% of homes are single-family (38% detached), 29% are 2-4 unit buildings, median year built 1945, so the prevailing stock is pre-war detached colonials and capes on small lots mixed with many two- and three-family houses. The town's neighborhoods include East Arlington, Arlington Heights and Arlington Center; neighborhood-by-neighborhood style was not verified in a source.

Historic districts and holiday lights

Arlington's historic districts bylaw covers temporary structures or signs subject to such conditions as to duration of use, location, lighting, removal and similar matters as the relevant Commission may reasonably specify.

The following lighting shall be exempt from the provisions of the Title V by-law: temporary holiday lighting.

Holiday lights are not named in the historic districts bylaw. If your house is in one of Arlington's historic districts, ask the Commission before you book.

Install-day parking and the overnight ban

Between 1:00 A.M. and 7:00 A.M., no vehicle may park on a public street in Arlington for more than one hour unless the parking is for good cause.

A daytime install crew works outside that window. A property in Arlington is granted 14 waivers per calendar year.

During a snow emergency in Arlington, a parking ban is in place for a minimum of 24 hours on all streets and parking lots. Arlington announces it through Arlington Alerts.

Takedown and Christmas trees

Arlington's Christmas tree collection will be offered one week in January instead of two.

Arlington tells residents to check the 2026-2027 Waste Collection Calendar and Yard Waste Program to make sure it is a yard waste collection week.
