Office of County Executive Innamorato Statement on PPS Lawsuit

Published on April 09, 2024

(PITTSBURGH) - Today the office of County Executive Sara Innamorato released the following statement in reaction to the recently filed lawsuit from Pittsburgh Public Schools regarding property reassessments. 

 

Abigail Gardner, spokesperson for the County Executive's office, said: “In regard to the lawsuit filed by Pittsburgh Public Schools, we have no comment on pending litigation. The County Executive is gathering data to analyze the implications of a countywide reassessment. Any reassessment must be revenue neutral and not a backdoor tax hike for the people of Allegheny County and should protect seniors and low-income homeowners in the process. Ideally reassessments would be state-mandated, mundane, regular occurrences and not once per decade shocks to the system. Our preference is to work with stakeholders to build a more predictable system for everyone.”
