Property Assessment Meeting at Brashear High School Thursday

Allegheny County is planning several town hall meetings in various communities over the next couple of weeks to address questions about the property reassessment process.

On Thursday, March 29 County Chief Executive Rich Fitzgerald will join Pittsburgh City Council member James Ellenbogen, for a town hall meeting at Pittsburgh Brashear High School at 7 p.m.

The meeting is designed to explain why the county is reassessing and inform people about what to bring to their assessment hearings and appeals.

The town halls will include a presentation on the reassessment process, how to prepare for appeals and informal reviews and other options to reducing one’s property assessment. The chief executive will also take questions from the audience and there will be county staff at the town hall to assist filling out various legal forms.
