On September 1, 2022, Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge, Alan Hertzberg, ordered that the common level ratio for the tax year 2022 be set at 63.53% – a significant decrease from the 81.1% that was previously published and being applied at the 2022 appeal hearings. The common level ratio, often referred to as the “CLR,” is an assessment-to-market-value ratio that is used to convert the current market value into a property’s taxable assessment. In response to the reduction of the 2022 common level ratio, Allegheny County Council has approved a bill that will give taxpayers a second chance to appeal their 2022 assessments. The filing deadline for 2022 assessment appeals, as well as 2023 assessment appeals, will be March 31, 2023. Allegheny County property owners may now be entitled to significant tax relief for both 2022 and 2023 tax years.
