Issue 6 flagged that Allegheny County's appeal deadline moved to October 1. With this issue publishing September 1, the deadline is exactly 30 days away - the point where a September-reading property owner still has meaningful time to file, but not much room for delay. A moved deadline is the most common cause of a missed appeal; owners who confirmed the date last year and assume it carried forward are the ones most at risk. Confirm the current-year date directly with the county rather than from prior-year practice.
