Allegheny County offers a tax break called the         "Homestead Exclusion Act"

This amendment allows the initial $15,000 in assessed value of each owner occupied residential property within the County to be exempt from real property taxation.  Meaning, if your house is assessed for $315,000, your county taxes would be computed on $15,000 less, or $300,000 (saving you $70/year on property taxes!)  To apply, click here: http://www.county.allegheny.pa.us/opa/act50frm.asp
