Property Assessment Allegheny County uses base year methodology to set assessed values. Base year methodology allows similar homes to have similar assessments by eliminating the effect of changing market conditions.
As the Common Level Ratio (CLR) for properties in Allegheny County has been dramatically reduced over the past three years (from 86.2% in 2021 to 63.5% in 2022; and from 63.6% in 2023 to 54.5% in 2024), the number of real estate tax assessment appeals filed has increased.
