Upper St. Clair School District Hikes Property Taxes

UPPER ST. CLAIR, PA — Real estate taxes are rising in the Upper St. Clair school district. School directors have approved a $104 million 2024-25 budget that includes a 3.25 percent millage increase of 0.96 mills.

The millage rate is now 30.59 mills.

What does that mean for taxpayers?

The annual tax impact of the increase on a $250,000 home, the average assessed home in Upper St. Clair, is $240.77 or $20.06 per month. To calculate the impact on a specific property value, multiply the property’s county assessed value by 0.0009631.

The budget supports several capital improvement projects, including the ongoing roof replacement at the high school, HVAC systems throughout the district, athletic wing renovations at the high school, district-wide safety and security enhancements, new buses and vans, concrete repairs, interior improvements to the high school and gym equipment.

“This budget preserves what we know works for kids,” superintendent John Rozzo said in a district news release. “There are no reductions in programs nor any reductions in staff.”
