Washington, DC · Title 11 DCMR (2016 Zoning Regulations)
UNZONED designates federal government property, national monuments, and other land not subject to DC zoning jurisdiction. Examples include the White House grounds, U.S. Capitol grounds, national memorials, and other federal installations. DC Zoning Regulations of 2016 do not apply to these parcels. Development, use, and modifications are governed by federal agencies such as the General Services Administration (GSA), National Park Service (NPS), or the Architect of the Capitol -- not the DC Office of Zoning.

This is the zone. What about the parcel?
Zone rules are the starting point — the answer for a specific property also depends on lot
size, overlays, existing improvements and site conditions. Run a free address lookup to see

Standards as recorded by Zonescore: Federal property -- not subject to 11 DCMR
Every development standard on this page shows where it came from. Figures cited to a section are quoted from Title 11 DCMR itself and verified word for word against the code text. Figures linked to an official zoning GIS record come from the DC Office of Zoning's own mapped zoning data, which is dated and re-queryable but is a summary of the code rather than the code — where a standard is banded or recently amended, the ordinance text governs. Anything we cannot source is shown as “not recorded” rather than filled in. Use permissions follow Subtitle U.
