You should be at this screen:
Enter the street name, in the Street Name box -
Do not enter the house number in
this box, enter the house number in the House Number
box. If you want to lookup the entire street, leave the
House Number box vacant. If you know the borough or township, use
the drop down box. Click Search.
You are now at the search result.
Click on the number to the left of the property that you are looking for
At the bottom of the page, you will see two sets of numbers,
Full Market Value and
County Assessed Value. The
township, borough & school district assessed value is based on
the Full Market Value, and Allegheny County's
assessed Value is based on the
County Assessed Value to the right.
You will notice that the
County Assessed Value is lower than the local
and school district.
The reason is that Allegheny County allows a reduction in the assessed valuation for a Homestead exemption. This reduction reduces the tax paid to Allegheny County. The homestead exemption (or reduction) does not apply to the borough, township or school district real estate taxes.
Allegheny County Tax Calculator I developed this calculator to help me estimate the tax savings by appealing my Allegheny County tax assessment. In short, how much would I reduce my taxes by lowering my assessment. The calculator should also be useful for real estate agents to update the real estate taxes on their listings. So here's how it works:
The Building Value may be lower on the County Assessed Value side. The reason is due to the homestead exemption. The homestead exemption only applies to the Allegheny County assessment, not to the local and school tax assessment. After you enter the tax numbers, click outside the box to "lock in" your choice. Now if you want to see how much you can reduce your real estate taxes by appealing your assessment, reduce the "Building" value by say, $10,000 and see the revised real estate taxes. Millage Change Keeping up with the municipal and school millage rates is difficult to say the least, so, you can revise the millage rates in this way. As you scroll down on the calculator, you will see a listing of the municipal, school and tax rates. You can back space out the pre-filled values and enter the correct tax millage. After entering the correct value, click outside the box to "lock in" the tax rate.  |
