This
page will explain how to calculate your Allegheny County
property tax.
 How do I look up my
property assessment in Allegheny PA?
The
Assessment Search Tutorial
will thoroughly explain the procedure of searching the
property assessment on the Allegheny web site.
How do I calculate my property taxes for
my home?
Step 1 - Find your real estate assessment on
the
Allegheny County Assessment search page (a new window will
open up in your browser)
Step 2 - Find the local, school, and Allegheny
tax rates here:
2011 Borough & Township Tax Rates
2011 School District Tax Rates
and return to this page.
Step 3 - Draw a simple chart like the one
below.
Step 4 - Working with decimals can be awfully
confusing and subject to error, so divide the result by 1,000 to
arrive at the annual tax bill for the Allegheny properties.

What's a mill and why do I need to
divide by 1,000?
A "mill" is one thousandths or - .001,
however, Allegheny lists the tax rates as:

So just add up the tax millage and multiply the total by the
Allegheny assessment and divide by 1,000
McDonald and Trafford Boroughs require special calculations
because some homes are located in adjacent counties. Contact the
tax collector for the real estate tax cost in these
municipalities. The City of Clairton, City of Duquesne, and the
City of McKeesport have land calculations.
