    Existing Land Use

    Metadata Updated: February 5, 2025

    A generalized dataset of existing land use in the District of Columbia as existed during its most recent extract of the common ownership lots. This dataset is different from the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use, which shows land use as envisioned in the latest version of DC’s Comprehensive Plan. The primary land use categories used in this dataset are similar, but not identical. The Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) compared two datasets to create this generalized existing land use data. The data source identifying property use is the Property Use Code Lookup from the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR). An index provided by the Office of Planning assigns each OTR property use code with a “primary land use” designation. Through an automated process, the common ownership lots were then joined with this index to create the Existing Land Use. Only properties with an assigned use code from OTR are categorized. Other properties without a use code were left as NULL. Many of these tend to be public lands such as national parks. Refer to https://opendata.dc.gov/pages/public-lands.This dataset has no legal status and is intended primarily as a resource and informational tool. The Office of the Chief Technology Officer anticipates replicating this work annually.
