Real Property Assessment Division First Level Appeal Application

The Real Property Tax Administration (RPTA) strives to assess property at 100% of estimated market value. Estimated market

value is defined as the most probable price that a buyer would pay a willing seller on the open market. As the property owner,

you are given the opportunity to dispute the assessment of your real property through a formal appeal process. The process

involves three levels of appeal, beginning with the First Level-Administrative Appeal. Subsequent steps include appealing

before the Board of Real Property Assessments and Appeals and DC Superior Court. You must, however, start at the First

Level before proceeding to the next levels of appeal. Please complete the following information in order to file the First Level

appeal of your property.
