The mission of the Real Property Tax Appeals Commission (RPTAC) is to conduct fair and impartial hearings to review disputed real property tax assessments (to ensure that properties are assessed at 100 percent of market value), to resolve claims of improper real property classifications, homestead (domicile) issues, and senior eligibility issues.

Summary of Services

The real property assessment appeals process provides a second-level administrative remedy for property owners to adjudicate property assessments prior to having to pay the tax and sue for a refund in DC Superior Court.
