The property reassessment situation is anything but clear in Allegheny County. Currently the issue on whether the assessments can be moved to a new base year or any base year or whether the base year system is constitutional, has many implications for local property owners. A recent article in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette described the current mess in front of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08249/909747-100.stm. If the 2002 base year is eliminated at some point and if base year assessments are found unconstitutional, you can expect to see a significant push state wide to raise local revenues by reassessing properties.
