Dc Homeowners' Property Taxes Remain Lowest in The
An Affiliate of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities 820 First Street NE, Suite 460 Washington, DC 20002 (202) 408-1080 Fax (202) 408-8173 www.dcfpi.org February 27, 2009 DC HOMEOWNERS’ PROPERTY TAXES REMAIN LOWEST IN THE REGION By Katie Kerstetter This week, District homeowners will receive their assessments for 2010 and their property tax bills for 2009. The new assessments are expected to decline modestly, after increasing significantly over the past several years. The new assessments won’t impact homeowners’ tax bills until next year, because this year’s bills are based on last year’s assessments. Yet even though 2009’s tax bills are based on a period when average assessments were rising, this analysis shows that property tax bills have decreased or risen only moderately for many homeowners in recent years. DC homeowners continue to enjoy the lowest average property tax bills in the region, largely due to property tax relief policies implemented in recent years. These policies include a Homestead Deduction1 increase from $30,000 to $67,500; a 10 percent cap on annual increases in taxable assessments; and an 11-cent property tax rate cut. The District also adopted a “calculated rate” provision that decreases the tax rate if property tax collections reach a certain target. As a result of these measures, most DC homeowners have seen their tax bills fall — or increase only modestly — over the past four years. In 2008, DC homeowners paid lower property taxes on average than homeowners in surrounding counties. Among homes with an average sales price of $500,000, DC homeowners paid an average tax of $2,725, compared to $3,504 in Montgomery County, $4,752 in PG County, and over $4,400 in Arlington and Fairfax counties. -

Year of Anacostia Council Testimony EAP Draft 2 FINAL
COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Committee on Public Works and Transportation The Year of the Anacostia Statement of Beth Purcell On behalf of the Capitol Hill Restoration Society January 11, 2018 My name is Beth Purcell, and I am testifying on behalf of the Capitol Hill Restoration Society (CHRS), the largest civic organization on Capitol Hill. Since 1955 CHRS has advocated for the welfare of Capitol Hill. Today I would like to talk to you about one of DDOT's most significant accomplishments, the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, particularly the section near RFK Stadium, and a threat to the trail, ironically coming from DDOT itself. Anacostia Riverwalk Trail The Anacostia Riverwalk Trail is a backbone of the Anacostia Waterfront, connecting residents, visitors and communities to the river, to one another and to numerous commercial and recreational destinations. All of the 20 planned miles are complete, and the trail is offers seamless, scenic travel on both sides of the river for pedestrians and bicyclists between Nationals Park, Historic Anacostia, RFK Stadium, Barney Circle, and the Navy Yard. The attached map shows part of the completed trail route (in red), running on the east and west side or the Anacostia River. Threat to the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail from DDOT's proposed "Park Road" But DDOT and EventsDC threaten Anacostia Riverwalk Trail by their plans to build a new road, called the "Park Drive," from Benning Road to Barney Circle, through Anacostia Park along the west bank of the river, running through the natural resource areas adjacent to RFK Stadium and Congressional Cemetery.1 Many of us on Capitol Hill believe that the so- called Park Drive will be a commuter road. -
