2027 Common Level Ratio
The new Allegheny County common level ratio for the 2027 tax year is 49.3%. This factor will be applied to the current market value, in appeals, starting in September 2026.

The Board of Property Assessment Appeals and Review (BPAAR) hears and decides all appeal hearings pursuant to the Board's Rules(PDF, 245KB) (authority under the Allegheny County Home Rule Charter Article X, Section 5). 

Beginning with the 2027 annual appeal season, BPAAR manages the administration of the appeals process independently; including scheduling, the mailing of hearing notices, postponements, and withdrawals.

The 2027 Annual Appeal submission period was from July 1, 2026, through September 1, 2026.
