If you’re a home owner, you should have already received your real property assessment from DC Office of Tax and Revenue in the mail. Councilmember McDuffie has heard from a number of residents that are not thrilled with their latest assessment, so he wanted me to pass along this information on how to appeal your assessment. Please note the deadline to appeal is coming up on April 3. The OTR instructions are:
District property owners who believe their proposed 2018 assessment does not reflect the market value of their property are encouraged to file an appeal on or before April 3, 2017. The appeal process begins when a property owner submits a First Level Appeal Application to OTR. This year, property owners can appeal their assessment online by visiting http://otr.cfo.dc.gov under “Real Property.”
This information comes from an OTR release, which is copied in full below, along with a link.

District of Columbia 2018 Real Estate Assessments Reflect Steady Real Estate Market
The District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) announced today that it has begun to mail Tax Year 2018 assessment notices to all real property owners in the District of Columbia. A total of 198,956 taxable and exempt real properties have been reassessed to reflect current market values as of January 1, 2017. Property owners receiving new assessment notices will not be taxed on the new assessed value until March 2018.
The District’s real estate market remains steady as the average increase in residential properties was 5.52 percent. The commercial market also shows value increases of 3.28 percent.
The 2018 real property assessment notice contains the proposed assessed value for a property as well as the estimated taxable assessment and important information related to property tax relief programs such as the homestead benefit and senior citizen tax relief. In addition, included on the notice is the assigned appraiser’s contact information for taxpayers who wish to discuss their assessment.
District property owners who believe their proposed 2018 assessment does not reflect the market value of their property are encouraged to file an appeal on or before April 3, 2017. The appeal process begins when a property owner submits a First Level Appeal Application to OTR. This year, property owners can appeal their assessment online by visiting otr.cfo.dc.gov under “Real Property.”
Taxpayers with questions should contact OTR’s Customer Service Administration at (202) 727-4TAX (4829).
