The relationship between a property and an address is many-to-many. In DC a SSL (Square, Suffix, Lot) is used to identify a property. One SSL can have multiple addresses located on it. This often includes garden-style apartment complexes as well as corner buildings with separate addresses facing each adjacent street. One address can also sit upon multiple SSLs. One single family residence can sit upon multiple lots. The cross reference table contains the many-to-many relationship between address IDs and SSLs. [A small percentage of addresses do not have an associated SSL (such as metro entrances or many addresses on Federal property.] Use this cross reference table to relate the District's address points in the Master Address Repository (MAR) with the SSLs and vice versa.

Property lots in DC are identified by their Square Suffix Lot number (SSL). SSL are 12 characters in length. The first 4 characters are your Square. The middle 4 characters, if present, are your Suffix and last 4 characters are your lot. Therefore, If Lot is numbered 1-799 it is a Record Lot. Exceptions to this rule are identified in this table. Furthermore, if Lot is numbered 800-1999 it is a Tax Lot If Lot number is 2000-6999 it is a Condo Lot If Lot is numbered 7000 or above it is a Air Rights Lot If it begins with PAR it is a Parcel If it begins with RES it is a Reservation

The tax assessment roll public extract (ITSPE) is used for assessment and property analysis, to send property tax bills and notices, and stores comprehensive tax information such as ownership, mailing addresses, non-contiguous Air Rights lots (Multifamily or Development), Air Rights lots, possessory interest lots, record lots, tax lots, parcels, condominiums, and federally owned lands such as reservations and appropriations. The linkage from the Vector Property layers to this database is SSL (Square, Suffix, and Lot). It should be noted that not all record lots have a direct 1:1 relationship to information in this database. The most obvious examples would be when a tax lot was created from existing record lots. In this case, only the tax lot would have linkage to the ITSPE, not the underlying record lots (though they still exist). Reservations that have been converted into tax lots are an additional example where the reservation still exists, however for taxation purposes the tax lot (overlay) supersedes and has corresponding linkage to ITS. The same is true for most Condominiums and the ground surface lot (Record) which still exist (common space) or the previous overlay (Air Right or Tax lot), only the Condo lot would have linkage to (ITSPE).

This layer is a subset of ITSPE and and UBIDs representing vacant and blighted property building footprints. The tax assessment roll public extract (ITSPE) is used for assessment and property analysis, to send property tax bills and notices, and stores comprehensive tax information such as ownership, mailing addresses, non-contiguous Air Rights lots (Multifamily or Development), Air Rights lots, possessory interest lots, record lots, tax lots, parcels, condominiums, and federally owned lands such as reservations and appropriations. The linkage from the Vector Property layers to this database is SSL (Square, Suffix, and Lot). The UBID data was originally created by spatially joining the 2019 building footprints published in DC Open Data with the Common Ownership Lots. The UBIDs were coded using US DOE’s Implementation code. Search for UBID and ITSPE in Open Data DC for individual documentation.

The common ownership lots is a single polygon layer that is built from various polygon feature classes of the District's Vector Property Mapping database including the below. It represents all lands that are outside right-of-way.Record LotsTax LotsParcel LotsReservation LotsAir Rights LotsAll of which are found separately on https://opendata.dc.gov. The Office of Tax and Revenue maintains a database known as Information Tax System (ITS) that contains the accounts for the real property taxes. ITS records reference record lots, tax lots, parcels, condominiums and federally owned lands such as reservations. Information from ITS is conflated to Common Ownership Lot features by SSL (Square, Suffix and Lot). This layer does not include condo records. This layer is regenerated WEEKLY with an automated algorithm using the latest Pubic Extract information for attribution.

A layer showing the District of Columbia government related structures. The dataset contains polygons representing District Government related structures on Government property created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) using the Department of Energy and Environment’s Unique Building Identifier (UBID) data. The tax assessment roll public extract (ITSPE) is used for assessment and property analysis, to send property tax bills and notices, and stores comprehensive tax information such as ownership, mailing addresses, non-contiguous Air Rights lots (Multifamily or Development), Air Rights lots, possessory interest lots, record lots, tax lots, parcels, condominiums, and federally owned lands such as reservations and appropriations.

This dataset represents parcels not mapped or sourced in Vector Property Map. Please refer to the common ownership lots layer in https://opendata.dc.gov for the most current data on ownership. Property Owner Points. This dataset contains points that represent the approximate location of real property lots within the District of Columbia. Each property point is generated based on a corresponding record maintained within the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) Real Property Tax Administration's (RPTA) real property database. Each point contains the full attribution of database fields derived from ITS public release extract. The initial data conversion effort was begun in 1997 as a means to provide RPTA with a digital mapping system which could be maintained to reflect ongoing changes to property lots and ownership. The initial step was to scan RPTA tax square maps from aperture cards at an effective paper resolution of 400 DPI. The resulting images were then georeferenced to DC's 0.2-meter resolution 1995 digital orthophotos. During the georeferencing process, the images were not warped; they were simply scaled and rotated to best fit the orthophotos. The DC tax assessor provided a database of active tax accounts which were placed interactively by an operator using the georeferenced square image and the orthophoto. Centroids were placed on the primary structure visible in the orthophoto within the raster property polygon. The placement was performed within ArcView 3.2 using a customized data production application. Accounts which could not be placed in the first pass were then reviewed by another operator to attempt to find their correct location. The placed points were QC'd through a spatial overlay with the square index to assure a match between the square field value within the property database and the actual square polygon into which the point was placed. Spot checking was then performed to confirm that the centroids fell within the correct raster lot. The centroids were delivered to OTR as a single citywide AutoCAD DWG file. Attribute features with square, suffix, and lot numbers (SSLs) were included as an AutoCAD block.

Retired on 8/17/2022 due to inconsistent downloads in hub. Public extract of the database used for sending tax assessment bills. It is also known as tax assessment roll. ITS stores comprehensive tax information such as ownership, mailing addresses, etc., of record lots, tax lots, parcels, condominiums, and federally owned lands such as reservations and appropriations. The ITS database also processes notices and tax bills. The linkage from the Vector Property layers to this database is SSL (Square, Suffix, and Lot).It should be noted that not all record lots have a direct 1:1 relationship to information in this database. The most obvious examples would be when a tax lot was created from existing record lots. In this case, only the tax lot would have linkage to the ITS database, not the underlying record lots (though they still exist). Another example would be reservations that have been converted into tax lots. The reservation still exists, however for taxation purposes it is referred to as a tax lot and has corresponding linkage to ITS.

The “EntertainmentSportsGamblingZones” layer identifies a two-block restriction zone emanating from the gambling entity’s physical location going outward two blocks in all directions. The class “A” entity’s square suffix and lot (SSL) shall be the central point and the restriction zone shall emanate outward from that central point two blocks. This layer will become part of the Districts gambling licensing procedure and will be used to notify the user seeking a gambling license whether they are within the two-block restriction zone or not.
