Pittsburgh Land Tax

The Pittsburgh Land Tax is a property tax focused specifically on land parcels within the city. Unlike traditional property taxes that consider both land and buildings, this tax targets the value of the land itself, encouraging the efficient use of land and discouraging speculation or under-utilization. Revenue generated from this tax supports city services and development projects. It is designed to promote urban renewal and sustainable land use by incentivizing property owners to develop or improve their land rather than leaving it vacant or underused.
