What is Public Space Rental Change of Address – Washington, DC?
Public Space Rental Change of Address is a District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) form that tells the Public Space Rental Administration your new mailing address so it can replace the old one in its records.
The form is printed under the heading of the Government of the District of Columbia, Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Office of Tax and Revenue, with the title Public Space Rental Administration Change of Address Form. Its stated purpose is to update the office's records.
It collects a short set of facts. The property is identified by Square, Suffix and Lot and by an ID#, followed by the Name/ Company and the Property Address. The form then asks for the Old Mailing Address and the New Mailing Address (name or company, street, city, state and ZIP code), a telephone number, and a signature and date. The closing lines, Date update by OTR, Processed by and Date sent to DDOT, record how the update was handled.
The completed form goes to the Office of Real Property Tax Administration, Attention: Operations Unit, by mail or by email. The footer shows the OTR address at 1101 4th Street, SW, West, Washington, DC 20024 and the version code V 3.23.18CB. The form changes only where mail is sent; it has no fields for any other kind of change.
Who needs to file Public Space Rental Change of Address – Washington, DC?
The form is for anyone whose mailing address has changed and who is listed with the Public Space Rental Administration under a property that needs updating. You identify the property by its Square, Suffix and Lot, the ID# and the property address, and you give the name or company the record is held under.
Individuals and companies use the same form: the Name/ Company line accepts either, and the New Mailing Address block repeats a Name/Company line for whoever should receive mail.
The form updates the mailing address only. It has no line for correcting the property address itself, so if that is what needs to change, contact the office at the numbers under How to submit. The form does not say who may sign for a company or for another person, so ask the Operations Unit contacts before someone other than the named party signs.
When to file Public Space Rental Change of Address – Washington, DC
Complete this form when your mailing address changes and the Public Space Rental Administration needs the new address on file. The form introduces itself as a way to update the office's records and prints no due date, so it is sent whenever the change occurs. Send it with the old and new mailing addresses filled in, signed and dated. For questions about an update, the form lists two contacts reachable from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. No processing time is printed on the form.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving boxes empty when the form says to complete the information in its entirety, including the old mailing address and the telephone number.
- Leaving out the Square, Suffix, Lot or ID# that identify the property.
- Sending the form without a signature and date.
- Mailing it without the Attention: Operations Unit line or the Suite 550-W part of the address, so it may not reach the Office of Real Property Tax Administration.
- Skipping the Name/Company line inside the New Mailing Address block, so the office does not know who should receive mail.
- Writing the new mailing address only in the Property Address line; the form has separate lines for the property and for the old and new mailing addresses.
