How it works
Allegheny County assesses real property using a base-year market value system. A single assessed value is placed on each parcel and is used by the county, the municipality, and the school district. Each taxing authority applies its own millage rate to that assessed value, and the individual amounts are added together to determine total property tax.
Examples
In Allegheny County, different municipalities and school districts adopt separate millage rates. The combined rate applicable to a parcel is applied to the assessed value to estimate annual tax.
Limitations and important notes
This calculation provides a general property tax estimate derived from the inputs supplied. Municipal and school district millage rates vary across Allegheny County, and exemptions or exclusions may apply depending on eligibility. Actual property tax bills may differ from the estimate shown.
