Allegheny County Council wants to make more than $70 million in cuts to the county executive’s budget proposal and lower a property tax increase to 28.5 percent instead of 46.5 percent.

Allegheny County Council members presented their plan Tuesday to make over $70 million in cuts to Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato’s budget proposal as a means to lower the proposed property tax increase rate that could hit residents next year.

Allegheny County Council introduced a counterproposal to County Executive Sara Innamorato’s 2025 spending plan Tuesday. Council’s plan would cost the median homeowner roughly $10 more in property taxes each month.

Previously, County Executive Innamorato proposed a 46% tax increase. The council is suggesting a 28.5% increase instead.

Allegheny County Council is now weighing the idea of a smaller property tax hike for next year. This comes after several members indicated that they were already going to reject Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato's plan.
