• As Allegheny County eyes reassessment, data points to likely winners, losers (publicsource.org) — Wilkinsburg homeowners could see relatively modest average tax changes from Allegheny County’s upcoming property reassessment, but those at the extremes may face noticeable bill increases or decreases. Local leaders are urging the borough and school district to study the impacts now, as high existing millage rates already push some would-be buyers to other communities and reassessment is scheduled to unfold between 2027 and 2032.
