By this time you should have received your School District Real Estate Tax Bill. This bill is blue and, unlike your Borough Real Estate Tax Bill, this has three parts. The reason the School District Real Estate Tax Bill has three parts is because the School District offers an installment payment plan for your taxes. The installments are due 8/31, 10/31 and 12/31 respectively. If you have not received your tax bill please email me at [email protected] and I will send your bill back to you electronically. Also, if you have not yet paid your Borough Real Estate Tax Bill, it is now due at Penalty. This bill was mailed in March. As you may be aware, I am an elected Tax Collector and my duties consist of billing the taxes and collecting the current year taxes only. I will close out the tax year at the end of August. Once I close out a given tax year, I must send the uncollected taxes to Jordan Tax Service, and I am no longer allowed to collect any unpaid taxes that year.

Both the Borough and the School District have meetings to set that millage each year. The Borough usually sets their millage in December and the School District sets their millage in June. So the amounts you pay for your taxes are based upon the assessed valuation multiplied by the millage. If you have questions about your assessed valuation, you must contact Allegheny County (www.alleghenycounty.us), then go to property assessment. If you have questions about the millage, you should contact either the School District or the Borough of Brentwood to help you with those questions. Please remember my office is located at 3730 Brownsville Road. You may stop in to ask questions or pay bills on Tuesdays from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm or Thursdays from 12:00 pm – 3:00pm until October 31st.
