Fight The Fight
County Executive Rich Fitzgerald is encouraging every Allegheny County resident and business owner to join him in opposing the court-ordered reassessment. We cannot continue to allow Allegheny County to be singled-out while counties around us have gone for decades without a reassessment. The hard work we have done to stabilize property assessments and promote economic growth during the last decade has shown results. We cannot allow a discriminatory practice like the Allegheny County-only court-ordered reassessment to reverse our progress. You can help by:
Contacting the Governor
Email the
governor@pa.gov or call 717-787-2500 and ask him to impose a moratorium on singled-out, court-ordered county reassessments until there is a statewide law that provides uniformity among all counties in the Commonwealth.
Contacting Your State Senator & State Representative
Find and contact your
State Senator and State Representative by phone or email.
Ask them to impose a moratorium on singled-out, court-ordered county reassessments until there is a statewide law that provides uniformity among all counties in the Commonwealth – and, after a moratorium is in place, to work cooperatively to enact legislation that provides for a uniform, statewide system establishing property values. Emphasize that this legislation needs to apply to all counties in the Commonwealth so that all residents, businesses, governments and school districts are afforded stability, certainty and fairness.
Contacting Your County Council Member
County Council has already introduced a
resolution in support of the effort. Email or call your County Council member to thank them for standing up for taxpayers and encourage quick passage of this legislation.
Contacting Your Municipal & School District Officials to Pass Resolutions
Locate your municipality and school district. Attend your next council or school board meeting, or call the numbers provided, and ask them to pass a resolution that opposes the ongoing court-ordered reassessment and that calls upon the Governor and General Assembly to impose a moratorium on singled-out, court-ordered county reassessments until there is a statewide law that provides uniformity among all counties in the Commonwealth.
