A lot of the properties in Allegheny County haven't sold in decades so a lot of times they are assessed at what they sold for last.One of those taxing bodies has to appeal the tax assessment to get the property taxes raised, abesnt of a whole county wide re assessment on every property. 

THe lists we go after are Absentee Owners, Inherited Properties, and Tax Delinquent Properties.I'm trying to determine if I should continue this wide but shallow strategy or maybe cut back on a few of the cities and dive deeper in the remaining cities.

And as much as I like those neighborhoods I'd steer more towards up and coming areas where cash flow is easier to find and where you can buy something a bit distressed, force some appreciation, and where there's hopefully further neighbhorhood-wide appreciation (at least if you're willing to hold).

But it is very unlikely that there is sufficient value to reduce the demo costs more than maybe $500 or so on something like a single wide MH.

@Mason Jenkins Commercial can mean a pretty wide variety of property types.

The ordinance is not county wide. 

Or commercial, mixed use also in Newburgh, criteria wide open.

I have most definitely walked away from a property if the taxes were too high (although I've never seen a spread that wide).  

I'm in Harrisburg and looking for a standard 36" wide sink base cabinet that isn't particle board like all the ones at Lowes and Home Depot.
