The Department of Consumer & Regulatory Affairs’ Office of the Surveyor maintains the legal records of all land plats and subdivisions of private and District government property within the District of Columbia. The existing records cover a period of more than two centuries.

Information is available, on a walk-in basis, regarding the surveying of property within the District. While this office no longer provides field survey services in the District of Columbia, we do provide a list of registered private surveyors.
