Account is not always physical parcel

A DC property tax account can represent a tax lot, condominium unit, possessory interest, or related account type. One physical building can therefore have several accounts.

Verified DC example

The verified condominium example at 549 Brummel Court NW, unit 549, uses SSL 3180 2008. The unit and account identifier distinguish it from other interests at the address.

Use in Quoin

Resolve the account before requesting assessments, taxes, sales, permits, or licenses. Keep building-level and multi-parcel context labeled instead of rewriting it as an exact account fact.
