Allegheny County Property Tax Reassessment Ordered | Pittsburgh News

Allegheny County is set for a major property tax overhaul after a judge ordered a full reassessment by July 2027, ending years of stalemate over an outdated system dating back to 2012. The current valuation method has led to wildly uneven tax bills, violating state constitutional requirements for fair taxation. A lawsuit by one homeowner triggered the court’s action, and within 60 days, a special master will be appointed to oversee the process — acting as an independent referee reporting directly to the judge. While advocates celebrate this long-overdue fix, some lawmakers push back, arguing for a statewide mandate instead of a county-specific solution. County officials vow compliance and emphasize taxpayer protection as they prepare for this sweeping change. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
