Allegheny County Tax Liens (Filings, Satisfactions, and Current Status)

Tax liens are a method the government uses to secure an interest in unpaid tax debt. This dataset represents information about county, municipal, school district, and water/sewer tax liens by parcel (and property identification number, where available). This dataset includes the name of the municipality, county or school district filing, the date that the lien was filed, and the tax amount at the date of filing.

This data is based on records that were filed dating back to 1995. This dataset will be updated with the previous month's filings as new data becomes available (typically, close to the beginning of the month).

Delinquent Tax Docket numbers are not unique identifiers. Instead, users need to combine the Delinquent Tax Docket number, the tax year, and the lien description.

This dataset represents our best effort to describe the state of tax liens. Users are encouraged to consult the Allegheny County Department of Court Records web site, as it is the definitive and most reliable source for this information:

https://dcr.alleghenycounty.us/

More detailed and up-to-date information on each lien can be found on that site.

Disclaimer:
Parcel information is provided from the Office of Property Assessments in Allegheny County. Content and availability are subject to change. Please review the Data Dictionary for details on included fields before each use.
Property characteristics and values change due to a variety of factors such as court rulings, municipality permit processing and subdivision plans.  Consequently the assessment system parcel data is continually changing.

# Orientation

The first two items listed below are slightly different versions of the most current property-assessments records. The first is optimized for faster download but has 1) a few fields (including `PROPERTY_ZIP` and `MUNICODE`) as integers instead of strings and 2) the date columns in two different formats. The second item downloads more slowly, is optimized for API queries, and has all dates in a standard YYYY-MM-DD format. Further down you can find useful links, documentation, and then archived versions of property assessments files.

Non-Traffic Citations

**This data ceased updating with the transition to a new records management system on 11/14/2023. Access to the updated data source will be provided in the future.**

Non-traffic citations (NTCs, also known as "summary offenses") document low-level criminal offenses where a law enforcement officer or other authorized official issued a citation in lieu of arrest. These citations normally include a fine. In Pennsylvania, NTCs often include a notice to appear before a magistrate if the person does not provide a guilty plea. Offenses that normally result in a citation include disorderly conduct, loitering, harassment and retail theft.  

This dataset only contains information reported by City of Pittsburgh Police. It does not contain incidents that solely involve other police departments operating within the city (for example, campus police or Port Authority police).

Latinos are not included in this data as a race and they will not be reflected in this data.

The Police Blotter Archive contains crime incident data after it has been validated and processed to meet Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) standards, published on a nightly basis. This data validation process creates a data publishing delay of approximately thirty days. Users who require the most recent incident data should use the [30 Day Police Blotter](https://data.wprdc.org/dataset/police-incident-blotter). The 30 Day Police Blotter dataset contains more recent data, but has not yet been run through quality control and standardization procedures by the Police Bureau. All data is reported at the block/intersection level, with the exception of sex crimes, which are reported at the police zone level. 

This dataset only contains information reported by City of Pittsburgh Police, and does not contain incidents that solely involve other police departments operating within the city (campus police, Port Authority, etc.)

LEGO Diorama Images

We often create dioramas from LEGO bricks for use with our presentations, blogs, and social media posts. We find it's much more fun and effective to reenact meetings and other scenes than to try and use real-life images.  It also saves us from the hassle of worrying about receiving permission to use a person's photo in our work. By popular demand, we have released some of our favorite images as open data for you to use.

Housing Market Value Analysis 2021

In 2021, Allegheny County Economic Development (ACED), in partnership with Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh(URA), completed the a Market Value Analysis (MVA) for Allegheny County.  This analysis services as both an update to previous MVA’s commissioned separately by ACED and the URA and combines the MVA for the whole of Allegheny County (inclusive of the City of Pittsburgh). The MVA is a unique tool for characterizing markets because it creates an internally referenced index of a municipality’s residential real estate market. It identifies areas that are the highest demand markets as well as areas of greatest distress, and the various markets types between. The MVA offers insight into the variation in market strength and weakness within and between traditional community boundaries because it uses Census block groups as the unit of analysis. Where market types abut each other on the map becomes instructive about the potential direction of market change, and ultimately, the appropriateness of types of investment or intervention strategies.  

This MVA utilized data that helps to define the local real estate market. The  data used covers the 2017-2019 period, and data used in the analysis includes:

* Residential Real Estate Sales
* Mortgage Foreclosures
* Residential Vacancy
* Parcel Year Built
* Parcel Condition
* Building Violations
* Owner Occupancy
* Subsidized Housing Units

The MVA uses a statistical technique known as cluster analysis, forming groups of areas (i.e., block groups) that are similar along the MVA descriptors, noted above. The goal is to form groups within which there is a similarity of characteristics within each group, but each group itself different from the others. Using this technique, the MVA condenses vast amounts of data for the universe of all properties to a manageable, meaningful typology of market types that can inform area-appropriate programs and decisions regarding the allocation of resources.

Please refer to the presentation and executive summary for more information about the data, methodology, and findings.
