The DC Basemap provides a reference map for the District of Columbia projected in Web Mercator. Access the ArcGIS Rest endpoint. The basemap utilizes the most current planimetric and reference data available and represents the real world with foundation map layers derived from base data collection done in 2023.The service is provided by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer.

District of Columbia quadrants. The dataset contains locations and attributes of the District of Columbia quadrants, created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating D.C. government agencies.The DCQuadPly was updated in January 2022 in the three following areas: 1) South Capitol Street has had major changes in its _location due to the Frederick Douglass Bridge Project. These changes include the actual South Capitol Street Bridge and the adjacent new ovals to the north and south. The new quadrant boundary generally runs along the median of South Capitol Street. There is a small triangular area that is south of the north oval and also west of the South Capitol Street bridge which is in fact part of the Southeast quadrant. 2) boundary was redrawn around 1 HAWAII AVENUE NE so that the address is located in the NE quadrant. 3) Small adjustment of the boundary by Kansas Avenue NW.

Best Management Practices (BMPs) are structural controls used to manage stormwater runoff. Examples include green roofs, rain gardens, and cisterns. BMPs reduce the effects of stormwater pollution and help restore the District’s waterbodies. The District’s stormwater regulations require that large construction or renovation projects install BMPs to manage stormwater runoff once construction is complete. The District also provides financial incentives for properties that install BMPs voluntarily. This dataset includes BMPs that were installed to comply with the District’s stormwater regulations, to participate in the Stormwater Retention Credit (SRC) trading program, to participate in the RiverSmart Homes program, to participate in the Green Roof Rebate program, or to participate in the RiverSmart Rewards stormwater fee discount program. These BMPs have been reviewed by the Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) as part of these programs. This dataset is updated weekly with data from the District’s Stormwater Database.

Roadway SubBlocks - Right of Way Information. A single line, segmented at all intersections (alley and others), representing each street in the District. They follow the general trend of the street and do not deviate due to parking lanes, turning lanes, etc. and contain address ranges for geocoding. The street GIS database includes five different street road types: street centerline, alley, drive, ramp and service road. All DC GIS data is stored and exported in Maryland State Plane coordinates NAD 83 meters. This layer contains complete theoretical address ranges.

District of Columbia boundary. The dataset is a polygon representing the District of Columbia boundary, created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating D.C. government agencies. The boundary was identified from public records and heads-up digitized using a combination of the 1995 orthophotographs, planimetric roads features, and the USGS digital raster graphic quad sheets, and 1999 planimetrics for the Potomac River boundary.Also see the District's Boundary Stone markers.

The main purposes of this online map are 1. to demonstrate the Web-Based Geographic Information System (GIS) in the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) Real Property Tax Administration (RPTA), and 2. to share detailed real property data and information to real property owners, the public, and other government entities. The rich map and interactive application include relevant real property valuation contributing map layers, links to original source agencies, and a variety of search, query, and analysis options to meet the needs of a wide user base. The location and links to the original DC Boundary Stones add a fun, historical,and educational component.The Office of the Chief Financial Officer, DC Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR), Real Property Assessment Division values all real property in the District of Columbia. The public interactive online DC Office of Tax and Revenue Real Property Assessment Lot Map Search application accompanies the OTR Tax Payer Service Center and may be used to search for and view all real property, related assessment areas, assessment data, and detailed assessment information.

Building structures include parking garages, ruins, monuments, and buildings under construction along with residential, commercial, industrial, apartment, townhouses, duplexes, etc. Buildings equal to or larger than 9.29 square meters (100 square feet) are captured. Buildings are delineated around the roof line showing the building "footprint." Roof breaks and rooflines, such as between individual residences in row houses or separate spaces in office structures, are captured to partition building footprints. This includes capturing all sheds, garages, or other non-addressable buildings over 100 square feet throughout the city. Atriums, courtyards, and other “holes” in buildings created as part of demarcating the building outline are not part of the building capture. This includes construction trailers greater than 100 square feet. Memorials are delineated around a roof line showing the building "footprint."Bleachers are delineated around the base of connected sets of bleachers. Parking Garages are delineated at the perimeter of the parking garage including ramps. Parking garages sharing a common boundary with linear features must have the common segment captured once. A parking garage is only attributed as such if there is rooftop parking. Not all rooftop parking is a parking garage, however. There are structures that only have rooftop parking but serve as a business. Those are captured as buildings. Fountains are delineated around the base of fountain structures.

The interactive zoning map allows users to determine the zoning classification for any property in the District. Users can search zoning by specific address, square and lot, parcel, Zoning Commission (ZC) case, or Planned Unit Development (PUD), where applicable. Users can select different layers of data to display on the map, and can print reports for any selected property. Users should note that when searching for a PUD, the ZC case name and ZC case number reflect the most recent case name and case number associated with the PUD. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions regarding the zoning map, contact the Office of Zoning at (202) 727-6311 or dcoz@dc.gov.

The dataset contains locations and attributes of car sharing locations. The points are the general locations where the Car Sharing currently exist. A database provided by the District Department of Transportation identified Car sharing locations.

The dataset contains polygons representing boundaries of District of Columbia 2022 election Wards. Boundaries include Census 2020 demographic data for population, age, race and housing. In the United States Census, Wards are the area name-Legal Statistical Area Description (LSAD) Term-Part Indicator for the District of Columbia.

This map features a detailed basemap for Washington, DC, including buildings and landmarks in the District. The basemap includes coverage down to about 1:1,000 for the full District of Columbia.The map is based on data from the DC Geographic Information Systems Program (DC GIS).

Washington, DC is one of the featured areas of the World Topographic Map. The World Topographic Map includes detailed maps for several cities and areas around the United States.

Zip Codes (5-digit). The dataset polygons represent location and attributes of zip codes, created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating D.C. government agencies. Zip Codes were identified from public records (US Postal Service) and created selecting arcs from the street centerlines and vector property map.

Right of Way Scan. Right of Way Distribution Maps, created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating D.C. government agencies. Scans provided by DDOT identified rights of way locations which were best fit to road planimetrics.

This dataset contains points representing Metro Stations within the District of Columbia. Station centroids were identified from visual observation of orthophotography and extracted from the planimetric data.

Squares are calculated by the outer extents of the record or tax lots within a defined area (typically a city block). There are roughly 4896 active squares. A Square is similar to a city block. Squares were numbered starting at 1 and are currently in the 6000 series. Not all squares are active. A common cause of squares becoming inactive has been through street closing and combining squares. When the squares are combined usually the lower square number is killed and the higher square number is used for the combined square. For example if squares 1 and 2 are combined, square 1 is killed and the combination becomes square 2.Spatial locations:Each Square is an Island, alone unto itself. There is not now, and has never been, any citywide Survey Coordinate System in D.C. Most squares are unrelated to other Squares by “Measured.” They are related by Record. Street width is approximate. You cannot rely on the published official street widths to set up property lines or determine right-of-way. There is digital scan information available from DDOT regarding Right-of-Way. Some Squares are divided by streets. That is, the same Square continues on the other side of the street. Since there is no citywide Survey Coordinate System, squares were placed in their approximate location. This process is known as “best fit”.

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 & 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.

These data represent DC Boundary in Washington, DC. Urban tree canopy (UTC) and possible planting area (PPA) metrics have been calculated for DC Boundary within the study area. UTC results provided in vector format with attribute fields (area/percent metrics/percent change metrics) for each land cover class and UTC type (UTC, PPA, Unsuitable UTC, UTC Change).
