Pine and Richland real estate assessed values rose substantially with the reassessment, but municipalities are not allowed to get a huge windfall of money because of that.
Real estate tax rates in Pine and Richland townships are going down. Pine Township lowered its real estate tax rate Tuesday night from 1.2 mills to .998 mills. Richland Township made a similar move in late January when it lowered its rate from 2.75 mills to 2.2 mills. But that does not necessarily mean a property owner’s tax bill is going down—reassessed values went up for most real estate in the townships because of Allegheny County’s court-ordered reassessment.

Bell Acres Borough Solicitor Robert Max Junker said the deadline was changed after lawyers raised issues on behalf of municipalities working to finalize budgets before the end of the year with uncertainty regarding property assessment appeals. “The judge recognized that people are being asked to develop budgets and…

Pine Township's tax rate remains at 1.2 mills.
When it comes to news about real estate taxes in Pine Township, there's good news and confusing news. First, the good news—no tax increase. The Pine Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Monday night to adopt a $12 million budget and set the tax rate at 1.2 mills per thousand dollars of a property's assessed value, the same as it was last year and the year before that and on and on back to 2002. Now for the confusing news—the township set the rate without knowing what the final reassessed values are. "We have to wait to get the new assessments in January (from Allegheny County)," Township Manager Cheryl Fischer told the supervisors. The initial reassessment statistics showed the average increase in value for real estate in Pine …
