Alert to Reported Phishing Emails Impersonating DCOZ

The DC Office of Zoning (DCOZ) has received reports of fraudulent emails falsely claiming to be from our agency. These phishing attempts may include deceptive links, requests for personal/payment information, or attachments that could compromise your security.

Please be advised that official communications from DCOZ will always come from a verified .dc.gov email address. The reported phishing emails did not come from a .dc.gov email. Additionally, DCOZ will never ask for the payment of fees through a bank wire.

If you receive a suspicious message:

  • Do not click on any links or download attachments.
  • Do not respond to the sender.
  • Report the message to your IT department or cybersecurity contact immediately, if you have one.

For questions or concerns, please contact us at [email protected] or 202-727-6311.
