On Tuesday, June 24, 2025, the Virginia Court of Appeals reversed and remanded the previous Expanded Housing Options trial ruling, effectively reinstating Arlington County's EHO ordinance as adopted by the County Board on March 22, 2023.  

The County will consider its next steps and how to best resume the EHO permitting process, including how to inform previous applicants who were either in the process or had their approved permits voided last fall. The County will share additional information as decisions are made.
