Yeah around Woodland you have ones in the 2 and 3 million range pretty frequently.

I’m really not sold on the wealthiest label here.

Anything today?

Just got on eastbound at Penn hills and didn’t see another car until the turnpike.

They will really only get hit on county taxes which aren’t very high for starters. And oddly the newest stuff might actually be the least impacted. It will be all the little Ryan homes built in the 70’s that are now going for over $300k that will see the big shift.

Their township taxes should be pretty much the same since there haven’t been big shifts in value within the township itself.

The same is probably true for school taxes. Places like Zelienople and Evans City that had more value relatively speaking in 1969 will see some of their school tax burden shift out to the townships. But since the levels of development have been so lopsided, even if Zelie’s share of school taxes got cut in half that would be a pretty small increase absorbed by all the development everywhere else in the district to make up for it.

It all depends. You have 3 different taxing authorities that have to adjust their millage.

For some there could be a big swing for County but not much for school. Others could see a big swing in school but not County.

It all comes down to how an individual property’s value compares in relative terms to the mix of values within each of those 3 taxing entities.

The line they like to throw out there is a 1/3 will go up, 1/3 down and 1/3 the same- but that is way oversimplifying things.

Only occurred because of his lawsuit. The commissioners were happy to keep kicking the can down the road.

What this will do is redistribute the share of taxes to better reflect the share of values countywide.

So there should be significant shifts in county taxes, limited shifts in municipal taxes and either limited or substantial shifts in school taxes depending on how the school district overlays with municipal borders.

A place like Aliquippa where the city and district boundaries match won’t see huge swings while some place like Central Valley or ambridge might see big swings due to their mix of urban boroughs and suburban townships.

Butler hasn’t reassessed since 1969.

The last- and only- time I was at the Butler Ponderosa a fist fight broke out between staff members.

It was glorious in its own right.

Stop expecting schools to be raising kids and get back to actually teaching.

Uh huh…maybe you’ll meet a nice gal on the bus.

Yea of course. And you are a shut in incel. We already covered this ground.

I’ll just wait for you to delete your comments. Nothing further is necessary.

Okay guy. Maybe go creep on my profile some more then delete the comments after…

Oh was it 130 municipalities in 2023? No?

So. Weird.

That isn’t Jacksonville chief

Yeah except they didn’t previous have 130 separate municipalities inside them dimwit.

And? It’s also hundreds of miles from Allegheny and had a development pattern nothing like it.

Oh I think the city would get smacked down hard if it was a countywide operation. It would be 900k vs 300k.

Other than perhaps the boroughs that butt right against the city most don’t view Pittsburgh as the pinnacle of governance and keeper of the public trust. The way things have gone with plowing every year has ensured that.

Gotta keep the vinyl chloride rain off the limestone….

Most of the people live in the county vs city- by a very wide margin.

Allegheny probably doesn’t need 130 municipalities, but probably does need more than 1.

Allegheny is way too big area wise for it to work. It’s 5x the size and includes everything from skyscrapers to hundred acre farms.

Yeah it sounds like a hard sell. Trying to get people off the fence.

The real switch is probably that rates won’t actually go up at all.

When you look at some of the big rental operations they have a calendar of rates that varies depending on when in the month the term starts, what month it starts, how far away that date is and how long the term is.

They will advertise the rate for the start of the next month though usually because that is what most people are looking for.

They are offering that rate though. I’m not sure you have to advertise when rates will change.
