✦AI Summary
Pro-Housing Pittsburgh has released a report advocating for the modernization of Allegheny County's property tax assessment system. The report suggests using open-source valuation models to address long-standing inequities caused by outdated assessment practices.
Allegheny County has not conducted periodic, regular property reassessments since the 1970s. As a result, assessed values have drifted further and further away from actual market values, creating inequities for taxpayers and making the property tax system less transparent and less efficient.
