Based on the certified County Assessment Roll for 2017, Allegheny County’s taxable value was $77.7 billion. That’s an increase of 1.4% over the 2016 certified amount. Since there was no reassessment conducted for 2017, changes in taxable value are the result of appeals, improvements, new construction, corrections to records, etc. We have written previously about the details of the County’s certified values since the 2013 reassessment (here and here).
The increase by municipality shows that for 2017 the big increases are concentrated in the western suburbs of the County, with Findlay (8.6%), Robinson (4.3%), and south Fayette (4%) seeing taxable value growth at the top. The northern suburbs of Marshall (5.6%) and Ohio (4%) rounded out the top five. Decreases in taxable value were concentrated in the eastern suburbs of Wilmerding (-15.7%), Rankin (-4.2%), and East Pittsburgh (-3.9%).
