Calling DC RE Investors! Which Basic Business License do I need?

[Connor Bell]

Hello BP/DC RE investors,

Anyone have personal experience registering a duplex in Washington D.C.? The website clearly states the following: 

One Family: This classification applies if you own and rent out single-family homes, town houses, duplexes, individual condominium units or individual rooms. A Basic Business License is required for each rental location. This classification does not include Apartment Houses (with three or more units) or Rooming House (with six or more occupants).

Two Family: This classification applies to you if you own and rent out an English basement apartment or converted basement apartment, you’ll need to apply for a Basic Business License for each rental location and you’ll also need to obtain an inspection and approval from DCRA's Inspections and Compliance Division along with a Certificate of Occupancy. This classification does not include Apartment Houses (with three or more units), Rooming House (with six or more units), single-family homes, individual condominium units or individual rooms.
