Buying or Selling? DC Water makes it easy!

Your Title agent has direct access to us through our 3rd Party Portal (3PP) application. Make sure your Title agent has obtained your Ownership Change Request (OCR#) from 3PP. Your first or final bill will arrive within 30 days.

Renting or Leasing? No problem!
