Surveyor Documents by SurDocs

Published by Department of Buildings | District of Columbia | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-10-24T00:00:00.000Z
SurDocs, commonly known as Surveyor Document System, is the District of Columbia’s Department of Consumer & Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) land records management system. DCRA’s 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. In the past, individuals were only able to access records by visiting DCRA’s Surveyors Office. Now people can skip the trip and find documents online without having to visit the agency. DCRA is one of very few municipalities that actually preserve field survey records. Having this service obliges the public’s desire to have easy access with a simple process. SurDocs has over 10,000 electronic copies of original district land records stored and accessible.
