How to Submit Comments on a Case

Comments on a case pending before the Hearing Officer may be submitted by regular mail or email. Larger submissions can be submitted using a link. The Hearing Officer prefers to receive advance copies of all written comments and documents submitted at a public hearing, especially if the material is long or detailed.

Can the public contact the Mayor's Agent or Hearing Officer about a case?

Applicants and members of the public should not contact the Mayor's Agent or Hearing Officer directly about pending cases. The Mayor's Agent and Hearing Officer are subject to District government ethics standards, and must recuse themselves from the proceedings in any case for which they have a real or apparent conflict of interest.

For inquiries, please contact HPO staff at (202) 442-7600 or [email protected].
