Allegheny County Council will hold a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. on July 1 at CCAC North to discuss proposed property reassessment legislation.

If you would like to speak at the meeting, you must sign up at least 24 hours in advance here: https://alleghenycounty.govqa.us/WEBAPP/_rs/(S(4b15ogcapbfdsm411lcdwewj))/RequestOpen.aspx?rqst=68

Commenters may also register to speak by calling the Office of County Council at 412-350-6490, or in person at Room 119, County Courthouse, 436 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219.

Written testimony will also be accepted through 5 p.m. on July 10 and may be emailed to [email protected]. I encourage residents to stay informed, participate in this process, and make their voices heard.
