SSL
SSL means Square, Suffix, and Lot. Washington, DC uses the identifier for property tax accounts, and Quoin keeps the normalized SSL with each resolved account.
Start freeHow SSL is used
An SSL identifies the tax account used for assessments, taxes, and related property records. The format can differ for tax lots, condominium units, possessory interests, and related account types.
A street address can refer to a building with several accounts, so the address and SSL should remain together after resolution.
Verified DC example
The Quoin evidence set maps 2220 Q Street SE, Washington, DC 20020 to SSL 5576 0001. A reviewer can enter the address or SSL in the official MyTax DC Real Property Search.
