Allegheny County Council is now weighing the idea of a smaller property tax hike for next year. This comes after several members indicated that they were already going to reject Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato's plan.

Previously, County Executive Innamorato proposed a 46% tax increase. The council is suggesting a 28.5% increase instead.

Allegheny County Council introduced a counterproposal to County Executive Sara Innamorato’s 2025 spending plan Tuesday. Council’s plan would cost the median homeowner roughly $10 more in property taxes each month.

A large group of residents, community group leaders, and service providers filled Allegheny County Council chambers Tuesday night to speak in support of a proposed tax increase to fund county government.

On Tuesday night, County Council passed an amendment that would cut the proposed property tax rate hike in half.
