Well, it is about that time again. By this time you should have already received and paid your Borough Real Estate taxes (yellow bill) as they were mailed out in March. If you have yet to pay your borough taxes, you should do so quickly, as I will be settling these taxes by August 10th and sending the delinquent taxes to Jordan at that time. ONCE I CLOSE OUT I AM NOT PERMITTED TO ACCEPT ANY PAYMENTS. You should be receiving your School District Real Estate tax bills (blue bill) the first week of July. If you do not get a bill by July 15, please call me at 412.882.5383 x1129 and leave your name, your email address, the address of the property, and the address where you would like the bill to be mailed. I will email all bills unless otherwise instructed to mail them. In order for you to obtain a receipt through the mail, taxpayers need to send the original bill in with a self-addressed stamped envelope, and I will mail your receipt back to you. My address is 3730 Brownsville Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15227 for the mailing of all real estate taxes. My office hours remain the same at the Brownsville Road location through the end of face or Oct. 31, 2016 – Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to noon and Thursdays from noon to 3 p.m. I will have office hours by appointment only after that time period. Since I know that this is not convenient for all, I also have a secure mail slot for residents who would like to drop off their taxes after hours. The secure mail slot is to the left of the front door. Please do not attempt to use the drop box in the drive through, as it is no longer operational. During office hours we also have a drive through window for the convenience of residents. This year the requirement from the School District remains the same, and I must adhere to the Pennsylvania State Law. This law states that “such settlement of duplicates must occur by January 15 for taxes.” Therefore, I will be closing out and sending the delinquent taxes to Jordan in January for the school district. If you have any questions, you may email me at [email protected] or phone me at 412.882.5383 x1129. As you may or may not be aware my duties are to bill and collect the current real estate taxes only. I do not set the amount of those taxes as this is a calculation of the assessed valuation (as set by Allegheny County) and the millage, which is set by the borough council and the school board respectively.
