Height of Buildings Act
This legislative enactment authorizes the transfer of jurisdiction over property owned by the federal or District governments within Washington, DC. Transfers may occur between two federal government agencies, between the federal government and District government agency, and between two District government agencies. The Commission must approve the transfer before it occurs. A transfer of jurisdiction does not change the ownership of the land transferred but merely the entity with custody and control over the underlying property.
