The City of Pittsburgh Department of City Planning has been working with Pittsburgh’s disability community to make Pittsburgh more accessible and livable for all. Property owners can now apply for a $2,500 tax credit towards their individual municipal property tax from the city and $2,500 from the county.

 

The tax credit is a way to help with construction or renovations of housing that meets criteria of being accessible for individuals with mobility issues.

 

“This is a great way to make residential housing accessible for friends and family, make housing livable as residents age, and make the work more affordable,” said Richard Meritzer, the City’s ADA Coordinator.
