Christmas Reassessment : Pittsburgh Legal Back Talk

Posted By Cliff Tuttle | December 18, 2011

No. 774

The County Assessors really do have a heart. ?They tried to keep from delivering the first batch of reassessment notices ?before Christmas. ?But Judge Wettick would have none of it.

I must admit, I didn?t initially give Rich Fitzgerald credit for shrewd thinking. ?It was puzzling that the County Council rushed to pass a one mill tax increase almost immediately after the election. ?But, upon reflection, the answer is simple. ?They can?t pass more than a nominal tax increase in a reassessment year. Moreover, once the numbers start to trickle out, there won?t be any political cover for tax increases.

Smart.
