What to Do If Your Tax Payment Is Returned by Mail

The United States Postal Service has made the City of Pittsburgh aware that, on occasion, United States Postal Service sorting equipment may malfunction, resulting in the USPS returning tax payments to the taxpayer.

If this occurs, please resubmit your payment by placing the original envelope—with the return label intact—inside a new envelope and remailing it.

The City will process the submission according to the postmark on the original envelope. The City will calculate and apply any applicable discounts, penalties, fees, etc. using that date.

Please note: the original envelope must be included for the City to honor the original mailing date. Without it, the claimed postmark date cannot be verified.

Current Year Delinquent bills are for 2026 City, Library, School and Parks Real Estate taxes that have not yet been paid, either in full, or via the second and third installment. Individuals who have not paid their third installment have not yet been billed, and are not impacted by this billing. Prior Year Delinquent bills are the total amount of City, Library, and Parks Taxes owed for all years 2025 and prior. This does not include delinquent school taxes as those are collected by Jordan Tax Service. We cannot provide information about prior year school balances.
