Effective April 13, 2012, the Official Zoning Map is now drawn and maintained on the Geographic Information System located in the Office of Zoning pursuant to D.C. Zoning Commission (“Commission”) Order No. 11-20. This electronic zoning map provides a public view of the official Zoning Map. The official Zoning Map is a living document constantly updated to keep up with amendments adopted by the Commission. The first printable summary extract of the official zoning map will be published in PDF format on July 1, 2012 and posted on the DCOZ website.

The DC Office of Zoning (DCOZ) is proud to introduce this new and improved comprehensive zoning map for the District of Columbia. The interactive zoning map allows users to determine the zoning classification for any property in the District. Users can search zoning by Address, Square and Lot, Parcel, Zoning Commission (ZC) case, Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) 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.

Given the fluidity of the map, if you require definitive authentication of zoning classification on any property for due diligence purposes or to satisfy a legal requirement, please request a certification of zoning from the Office of Zoning. For instructions on how to request such certification of zoning, and/or for questions, comments, or suggestions regarding the zoning map, please visit the DCOZ website at www.dcoz.dc.gov or contact the Office of Zoning at (202)727-6311.
