Building permit — civil plans
This project redevelops the unused habitat space previously for the bison on the campus of Smithsonian Institution's National Zoo for a new animal habitat. Approximately 36,000 square feet of redevelopment includes rerouting of existing utilities, introduction of new utility piping, and the expansion of the existing Care Building. Erosion and sedimentation controls will be required. Stormwater best management practices, bioretention and planter box, and the preservation of select existing trees are planned to meet retention and detention requirements.

Published by the District as assessment data, separately from the permit record above, and current as of the District’s own assessment cycle rather than today. An assessment can lag construction by a cycle, so a property with a recently issued permit may still be assessed as it was before the work. Owner details are published by the jurisdiction but are deliberately not shown here.
These are the permits published by the jurisdictions listed above. A project usually depends on approvals from other agencies that publish nothing machine-readable — a forest conservation exemption, a well completion report, a sediment control or grading plan, a utility connection, a homeowners’ association sign-off. Their absence here is not evidence they were not required, and the gaps between the dates above are usually where they happened. Rows labelled “Issued” are ISSUED permits — Washington DC publishes an issue date and no project valuation at all. Records are grouped by normalised address text, so the same property may also appear upstream under a different spelling. Verify scope, dates, and contractor information with the issuing jurisdiction before bidding, quoting, or performing work.
