Get property snapshot

The property snapshot is a compact first look at a resolved D.C. tax account. It combines core account facts without replacing focused history tools or professional diligence.

When to use it

Use for a lender-oriented collateral quick look: identity, decoded classification, owner of record, assessments, taxes/balances, special assessments, quality flags, and a slim latest-transfer summary.

Use after resolving identity when a concise collateral overview is more useful than an exhaustive nine-section response.

Input contract

These inputs and limits are pinned to the production v0.4.10 server contract. Omitted optional values use the documented defaults.

Response and verification

Successful sourced responses preserve effective dates, typed null meaning, source references, quality flags, and exact-versus-contextual property-link scope.

Use the display-ready sources for a visible Source or Verify action. Responses return each field with a source reference that can be checked against the official portal. See Source citations and verification for the evidence format.

Limits

  • The serving entity is a tax account, not necessarily one physical parcel.
  • The transfer summary is intentionally slim.
  • Reported values and owners are sourced facts, not legal or appraisal conclusions.
