Reply to comment by pAul2437 in 2 Western Pa. school districts shifted money around to raise taxes, Pa. auditor general says by Jumpy-Natural4868

I'm not mad at them, Allegheny County is better off without them.

You as well! If you move they will be able to reassess and get the fair share

The house has been sold twice since the last assessment. As far as I can tell the city / school district only reassess in hot neighborhoods.

 
The city and school district get 3% of our gross income so I'm not going to feel too bad about the low house assessment.

You’re being subsidized by folks paying fair value

They can reassess my house if they're that worried about it, the 3% EIT they're getting out of my wife and I is multiple times the difference they'd get if they reassessed my house to what I paid for it.

Doesn’t make sense. Your neighbors are paying the 3 percent as well. You are being subsidized with bottom barrel taxes

The difference between what I paid and the assessment is about $905 in property taxes. My wife and I pay about $5500 a year in local EIT. The city's getting theirs.
