Allegheny County property taxes could be going up and homeowners could face the largest property tax increase in memory under the proposed budget from Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato. Innamorato unveiled the proposed 2025 budget in front of Allegheny County Council on Tuesday.

If approved, the rate would increase by 2.2 mills in 2025 and would be the county’s first millage rate hike in more than a decade.

The budget is the first of Innamorato’s administration and includes a 3% spending increase from the 2024 budget created by her predecessor, former county executive Rich Fitzgerald. Innamorato said the hike is meant to plug a structural deficit previously covered by federal COVID pandemic funds.

Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato is expected to propose a property tax hike Tuesday evening to help address a growing budget deficit. Innamorato plans to include a 2.2-mill increase in her 2025 budget proposal,

A property tax hike is the centerpiece of the Allegheny County executive's proposal to fund the county government next year.

County Executive Sara Innamorato is expected to ask Allegheny County Council members to approve a 2.2 millage rate increase on property in the county.
