It’s the second week of January, and for many Pittsburgh homeowners, the “Happy New Year” wishes just got cut short by a very expensive piece of mail.
The 2026 property tax bills are hitting mailboxes across Allegheny County this week. If you live in the City of Pittsburgh, you’re likely seeing the reality of the 30% property tax increase that was passed last month. Between the city’s millage hike and the county’s own adjustments, owning a home in Pittsburgh just became significantly more expensive.
At Eminel Buys Houses Fast (Boss Lady Investment Group), we know that for many, this tax bill isn’t just an annoyance—it’s a breaking point.
The February 10th Deadline: A Hidden Opportunity
Most homeowners look at their bill and see the February 10th deadline for the 2% discount. But if you are struggling with a house that needs repairs, or if you already owe back taxes from 2025, that “discount” doesn’t help much.
If you are realizing that you cannot afford another year of rising taxes, maintenance, and insurance, you have a choice to make right now:
- Pay the Bill: Use your hard-earned savings to pay a record-high tax bill on a property that is already a burden.
- Wait and Incur Penalties: If the bill isn’t paid by the end of February, interest charges and penalties start to pile up, making a bad situation worse.
- Sell and Let Us Pay It: When you sell your house to us, we settle the tax bill at the closing table. You don’t have to reach into your pocket to pay a dime of it.
Why Selling Now is the Smartest Move for 2026
The Pittsburgh real estate market is expected to be one of the top “value” markets in the country this year, but that doesn’t mean a traditional sale is easy. Selling through an agent takes months of showings, repairs, and waiting for bank appraisals—all while your tax debt continues to grow.
We offer a faster, cleaner solution:
- No Out-of-Pocket Costs: We handle the back taxes, municipal liens, and the current 2026 bill.
- Skip the “Winter Fix-Ups”: You don’t need to fix the furnace or patch the roof to satisfy a picky buyer. We buy AS-IS.
- Cash in Hand Before February: While your neighbors are stressing over their tax payments, you could be sitting with a check in your hand, free from the property forever.
Don’t Let 2026 Be the Year of Debt
If that tax bill in your hand feels like a weight you can’t carry, let’s talk. You don’t have to spend your winter worrying about how to make ends meet. Trade your tax burden for a fresh start.
