What building in Arlington actually involves
- The ground
- Sand ridges cut by tidal creeks, so two lots on the same street can sit six feet apart in elevation.
- The water
- Frontage on the St. Johns and on tidal creeks feeding it — brackish, with marsh edges that constrain shoreline construction.
- The building stock
- Large stock of well-built 1950s and 60s concrete block houses that are structurally sound and functionally dated.
- The rules
- Permits run through City of Jacksonville Building Inspection Division, and city permitting with wetland and marsh setback review common on creekside parcels.
