(Pittsburgh, PA) Both the Pittsburgh City Council and the Pittsburgh Public Schools Board now appear ready to increase taxes for property owners. That council is debating a proposed tax increase of 30% and at a meeting next week, that school board is expected to approve a new budget of $700 million, including a tax increase of 4%. On November 25th, 2025, the Pittsburgh Public Schools Board voted 6-3 against a plan that would have closed nine buildings, saving an estimated $6 million in staffing, maintenance and energy costs after two years of discussion.
