In the winter our usage w electric heat still peaks at 850. So I'd expect you to be well below that w gas. Again we have a lot of loss because of old windows and bad insulation

Are you aware that an improvement's expense doesn't lead to a 1:1 change in property value? It would be silly to demand that every tiny change in a property's value be captured, and new paint or carpet or whatever lead to tiny changes in value, even if they might cost tens of thousands. Value in this context only exists in relation to the rest of the market, which is why reassessing at sale and regularly thereafter is the best approach.

saw your comment about having kids and potential jobs downtown… definitely Carnegie. I regularly (as much as possible in this market) see family homes on Zillow in the 180-200k zone.

You're right. Stroke is nothing to joke about on the top 1,000 things Not to joke about,
However No single Senator in History has done anything this insignificant as this creatin. Living in parents basement til 48 years old Neglects to pay his own taxes in the most blighted town in the USA while Mayor and keeps climbing the slime ladder to success. I apologize.

Where would they put it, at the bottom of Virginia Ave, where the Rite Aid now is?

I work out of town a lot but there are two other people in the house who are usually home most evenings. Is there a way to find the post office that serves me or just the closest one?

Do you check and empty your mailbox regularly? If you let your box fill up or if it hasn't been picked up in 10 days, it's possible the regular marked it as vacant. All mail would have been pulled and held at the office for 10 days before being returned to the sender. You need to go down to the office that serves you and let them know that your address isn't vacant and what good names are for your address. It sounds like you got marked vacant for not keeping the box empty.

It's sad, but not surprising. Being a small business owner is usually a thankless job, and you don't get nearly as much support (and free marketing) as the bigger outfits. Pittsburgh is a closed off community when it comes to restaurants and retail in a lot of ways, and cult followings are often not enough to keep these places going. It's a damn popularity contest out there and as much as we don't want to admit it (and as cool as this sub is), for the most part, we're a basic bitch city 🤷

First, sign up for Informed Delivery right now. That will e-mail you a pic of mail coming to your house. For return receipt requested, you actually have to go into the post office and fill out a form

You got a school age fiancé, check the school districts first. Booth those areas are Woodland Hills. Propel is one of the charter schools for that area.

Cost still isn't the same as value. Stop treating them as interchangeable.
They don't necessarily reassess after renovation because the whole system is wildly inconsistent. It depends on many factors, including the muni and SD's interest in appealing - I'm not sure the SD even gets building permit info.
Thanks to the CLR and relentless appeals the final change in tax bill is also smaller so it's often not worth the effort. But who knows, under the current system it's just a subjective free for all.
