DCRA Mission & Vision
The Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) supports a thriving community of
residents, businesses, and visitors through diligent protection of health, safety economic interests
and quality of life of residents, businesses and visitors in the District of Columbia by ensuring code
compliance and regulating business.
DCRA is always looking to improve how business is achieved, focusing attention on providing stellar
customer service and meaningful value, by connecting and informing Small Businesses, Developers,
and Builders in the District of Columbia of their amenities while ensuring safety and compliance.
The Accelerated Plan Review Program (otherwise known as the APR Program) came about in 2017
as DCRA’s initiative to streamline and expedite the reviewal and permitting process due to a
protracted turn-around time for permit issuance.
