Tax Lots

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>DC's Real Property Tax Administration defines assessment and taxation lots, often referred to as A&amp;T lots or simply tax lots.  These lots are strictly for real estate taxation purposes and normally defined under two circumstances: </span></p><ul><li><p><span>When property owners ask for their real property tax bills to be consolidated, after they have bought several contiguous record lots; this is called a combine;</span></p></li><li><p><span>When part of a record lot is sold, but no new record lot is yet defined; this is called a split request. </span></p></li></ul><p><span>Tax lots are not determined by survey, and are therefore not official lots in the same way record lots are.  These lots are normally numbered between 800 and 1999within a square to differentiate them from record lots on the property tax maps.  When a tax lot is established by RPTA, an A&amp;T Plat is generated by RPTA and forwarded to the surveyor’s office. These A&amp;T Plats are not reviewed but simply filed by the Surveyor; they do not comply with the standards required of subdivision plats, and are not recorded.  Tax Lots are not normally acceptable when applying for building permits and must be converted to Record Lots through the normal subdivision process involving the D.C. Surveyor’s Office before permits will be issued.  The only exception is if the lot does not face a public street.  Furthermore, at the time of their creation and platting, there is no review made of tax lots for compliance with D.C. Zoning, Subdivisions or any other ordinances.  These lots are simply pieces of property, owned by somebody, described in deeds, for which tax bills are sent and real estate taxes are collected by the city. Some Record Lots also function in this capacity.  Geographically, tax lots typically overlay layers such as record lots or sometimes reservations.  There are known instances where tax lots do not overlay these types of layers.  Up until approximately 1972, A&amp;T lots were only created by the Tax Assessor out of lands that had been previously Record Lots at some point in their history.  For a short period of time in the early to mid 1970’s, a decision was made to start eliminating fractional parcels (see definition below) and make them all into A&amp;T lots.  The intent was to do away with Parcels altogether and have all properties in the city be either tax lots or record lots.  By doing this, they converted unsubdivided parcels into A&amp;T lots where no underlying record lot exists. There is often little or no historical source information about these types of transactions therefore vectorizing them often required vast amounts of research.</span></p></div></div></div>

Condo Regime

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>The Regimes are how Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) quantifies units in a given condo development, grouping of condos. A condo regime number is assigned to each residential condo application or Article of Confederation regardless of how many buildings there are at any one site. The regime number starts with a 1, 2, or 3 depending upon where the condo is located and where they fall in the assessment process of Real Property Tax Assessment (RPTA). All numbers after the first are consecutive. RPTA maintains the master list of Regime numbers for residential properties. Commercial condos are not associated with a Regime number.</span></p><p><span>Condo lots are individual lots for each condominium. The lot numbers normally range from 2000-6999. These condo lots are not geographically defined other than being within a air rights, record, tax or a combination of lots that has one or more condo buildings within it.</span></p></div></div></div>

Reservations Points

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>U.S. Reservations are lands acquired for use by the Federal Government after the original founding of the city. These were all acquired by the Federal Government through purchase, condemnation, dedication or gift and almost all of the U.S. Reservations in Washington are under the Jurisdiction of the National Park Service. Unlike Appropriations, U.S. Reservations are found throughout the city. The National Park Service also has information for every U.S. Reservation and Appropriation in addition to DCRA Office of the Surveyor having some detailed information on transactional history. It should be noted that RPTA has converted some reservations to tax lots for land tracking purposes however the federal government still maintains ownership in many of these cases.</span></p></div></div></div>

Land Boundary Change

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>This layer is derived from the Common Ownership Lots and represents property transactions as they’ve occurred since the implementation of the Vector Property Mapping program in September 2006. A property transaction entails new geometry (split/combination of Lot(s) or property type conversion (from Air Rights, Record, or Tax Lots to Condo lots). The layer contains locations and attributes of archived features (inactive lots – dead lots) and corresponds with Office of Tax and Revenue's Public Extract files (ITSPE). It occurs weekly for the current calendar year and geometry updated when a transaction occurs.</span></p></div></div></div>

Parcel Lot Points

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>These are lands still within the District of Columbia that has never been subdivided into either Record or Tax Lots through the two offices that manage land records (OS &amp; RPTA), this land is referred to as Parcels, expressed as fractions (Ex Parcel 117/36). In this example, the number “36” would be the 36th out conveyance from original Parcel 117. The tracking of parcels was started in 1905 when, by Act of Congress, all the District’s unsubdivided properties which were mostly rural farms at the time were given parcel numbers. Their boundaries were also depicted (in many cases approximated), in large books in DCRA's Office of the Surveyor. Until the late 1960s, building permits were routinely issued by the city for new construction on Parcels, but today all Parcels, like Tax Lots, must be converted into subdivision Lots of Record before permits will be issued for exterior work. Parcels are only found in the old “County of Washington,” north of Florida Ave and east of the Anacostia River. There are no Parcels found within the original city limits or Georgetown. Parcels are not in Squares. There are examples where parcel land may be physically located in the middle of a city Square, but Parcels are not considered part of a Square until they are duly subdivided by the D.C. Surveyor’s Office.</span></p></div></div></div>
