Property taxes in Pittsburgh
Every property here gets three real estate tax bills: one from the county, one from Pittsburgh and one from the school district. The county's rate is the same everywhere. The other two are set locally, which is why two similar houses a mile apart can owe very different amounts. How the bills are worked out.
Same school district
One other place shares the Pittsburgh school district with Pittsburgh, so the school tax rate is the same.
