Reminder: Discount Period Ends April 30 for Allegheny County Property Taxes

The Allegheny County Treasurer's office is reminding Plum and Oakmont taxpayers that the deadline for the tax discount period is drawing near.

In order to save 2% on your county property taxes, bills must be paid in full and received or postmarked by Tuesday, April 30. 

“For the second year in a row, the due dates for county taxes had to be adjusted. I am certain that many taxpayers may not remember that their county property taxes are coming due by months end,” Treasurer John Weinstein said in a news release.

The County Treasurer’s Office, Room 108, will remain open later until 7:30 p.m. on April 30 to collect taxes at the 2 percent discount rate.

Other methods include paying in person by 4:30 p.m. on other weekdays, paying by mail with the envelope that was provided with the tax bill or property owners can pay online at www.alleghenycounty.us/treasure by clicking “Online Property Tax Payment."

The 2013 County Property Tax Due Dates are:

• 2% Discount Period ends April 30

• Face or Gross Tax ends May 31

• Delinquent Tax Period begins June 1
